August 6, 200718 yr How many model/nameplates in each GM division appeal to you? I don't mean that you think a given model is a good choice in class, makes sense for you, is financially sensible. I mean which do you look at and say "I'd like to have one of those". How many from each GM division make the cut for you?
August 6, 200718 yr GMC Envoy & Acadia Pontiac Torrent, Grand Prix & Solstice The G names leave me cold! Saturn When the models are the same as Opel's. Cadillac CTS & STS

August 6, 200718 yr Author This thread turned into an interesting read. Even so, I guess that I should have realized that everyone would list the cars rather than the numbers (which I was actually looking for when I posted). Oh well, I'm actually sort of glad it turned out this way instead. Just for grins, anyone want to try to put names to my numbers?

August 7, 200718 yr Only one wrong so far. The ones Caddy listed for Chevrolet were the only 5 I was able to determine, too. So, I admit, I'm curious what the additional 1.5 are.....
