In a desperate bid to avoid bankruptcy, General Motors Corp. today launched a restructuring plan that would eliminate 2,600 dealers, 21,000 workers, $44 billion in debt and four brands, including Pontiac -- while leaving the U.S. government owning at least half of the troubled automaker.

In addition, GM will accelerate the wind-down of its Hummer, Saturn and Saab brands, ceasing production by year's end. Pontiac will be terminated after 2010.

I figured Saturn was about the only viable segment they had? I wouldn't buy a Chevy if it was fo free, but I loved the one Saturn I had and I sure see plenty of them on the road.

I'm telling you, my next car is a Ford...I hope they come up with a good new gas friendly mini-van soon.
