GM has stopped producing new Hummers, Saturns, Pontiacs, and Saabs for sometime now, but they have continued to sell them to deplete their inventories. GM sold Saab to Spyker so its sales do not count in GM's total sales.
According to AutoObserver GM only has about 2000 Hummers, Saturns and Pontiacs left and all will be sold in the next two or three months.
It is sad that GM had to discontinue three brands that are very iconic and held a strong place in the automotive landscape. Hummer and Saturn were relatively new brands, but Pontiac had been around for decades. GM dealerships will not be the same without these brands, but this was necessary if we wanted to every see a GM dealership again.
