General Motors (GM) will soon stop producing Pontiac automobiles. The troubled US automaker will close down its Pontiac brand by next year. GM is also planning to discontinue its Saturn brand by the end of this year as well. While not an easy decision GM is making the tough decisions that are necessary to become a competitive automaker. General Motors will be down to 4 main brand in 2010 consisting of GMC, Chevy, Buick and Cadillac. This still may be one brand too many as GMC may have to discontinue Buick if the company’s sales are below expectations in future years. Even still it looks like the company is on the right track to becoming relevant in the US auto market again.
