Uh, GM made the decision to drop the brands that were the least
profitable. After GM dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into a
failed brand you expected the government to encourage them to dump
billions more into a failed brand. Let it go.

It is rather surprising that GM dumped the Pontiac brand since it's the
third best selling brand, and they're keeping Buick which is sixth. But
perhaps Buick (and Cadillac) sales, despite fewer units, are more
profitable.

Hopefully the new GM will decide that it should be quality and
engineering that sells vehicles rather than marketing gimmicks like
no-haggle sales and polymer panels.
