What brands and models will be available?

GM plans to trim its number of U.S. brands from eight to four. It plans to retain Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC.

Pontiac is expected to be phased out by the end of 2010. GM recently agreed to sell Saturn to the Penske Automotive Group and Hummer to Chinese automaker, Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company. GM has also been meeting with parties interested in buying Saab. The company has said that it will not rebrand any vehicles from those divisions to be sold by the remaining divisions.

GM has also said that it will discontinue several of its high-performance models by the end of this year, including the Chevrolet Cobalt SS sedan, HHR SS, and Impala SS, the Cadillac STS-V, and the Pontiac G6 GXP.
