UPDATED at 10 p.m. to include Murfreesboro and Dickson dealers.
General Motors this morning said it will kill off the Pontiac brand and sell or phase out Saturn, Saab and Hummer by the end of this year, which is more quickly than planned. Locally, those four badges account for the following 11 dealerships, most of which are attached to other brands’ outlets.
Crest Saab, MetroCenter
Crest Hummer, MetroCenter
Beaman Pontiac, downtown
Dunn Pontiac, Broadway
Franklin Pontiac, Madison
Cunningham Pontiac, Springfield
Rockie Williams Pontiac, Lebanon
Alexander Pontiac, Murfreesboro
Faulkner Pontiac, Dickson
Saturn of RiverGate, Madison
Saturn of Cool Springs, Franklin
In all, GM now plans to trim its dealer network from more than 6,200 a year ago to 3,600 by the end of next year. In January, the company had said it was looking to get to 4,700 dealerships.

The downtown spot will be the third for Chris Herndon, a former franchise who in 2001 bought the chain’s sub shops in Bellevue and on White Bridge Road. In conjunction with the opening, Herndon’s team will help raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Anyone who has a fundraising coupon can get a free regular sub for a $1 donation from Mar. 18 through Mar. 21. Coupons are being distributed throughout the community and in local newspapers.
