Rumor is..GM may sell a Division

GM could kill a division but rumor is GM may offer a division for sell to be
picked up by another manufacturer. Can you imagine Pontiac being owned by
Nissan or Honda?...how does a Nissan Pontiac GTO sound? Some are saying it
makes more sense to sell a division than to just let it go away, it has been
done before several times by other manufacturers...Rambler was picked by
Chrysler at least what was left of it (jeep div).

I'd drop saab or the part ownership of subaru such first

Probably won't be an auto division. They also make their own parts.
They've already combined AC with Delphi(Saginaw Steering Gear) and spun
off Delphi, sold DirecTV and that leave PowerTrain Division, engines
and transmissions.

Actually Rambler died along with American Motors. Jeep was originally
picked up by GM (if memory serves me correctly) and then GM sold Jeep to
Chrysler.

Actually, Jeep was first Willys owned (if you could think of it that way).
Willys was bought by Kaiser in 1953, became Kaiser-Jeep in 1963. AMC bought
them in 1970. Chrsyler then bought AMC in 1983. And its been there ever
since.

What you may have been thinking of was the Buick V6 which was sold to Kaiser
in 1967 but they used it in 1965. In 1974 AMC (remember they bought Kaiser
by now) sold the engine back to Buick.

The obvious choice is Saab. Of course, that may not be enough
and they may have to sell Land Rover too(both of which are
not necessarry to thier survival OR sell terribly well)

Sure SAAB, LR and how about Holden. Powertrain division I could see
gone too. Then GM only builds cars and doesn't make parts any more, I
think Powertrain is the only parts division left.
