Cadillac pulled out of the ALMS after the 2002 season; we'll see if pulling the plug on the under-development down-a-class Corvette C6 GT2 car will be part of the bailout belt-tightening.
Audi is going to race a brand new R15 V-8 TDI P1 car next year at Sebring and Le Mans, so this isn't about inter-familial issues between Ingolstadt and Zuffenhausen. It's about money and sponsorship. Porsche is doing a single butt-ugly and bog-slow Grand Am "Daytona Prototype" spec car with Penske for 2009 and supporting 4 customer RSR's in the ALMS GT2 category.
It's not just about car-counts. Audi and GM have also helped the American Le Mans Series with marketing and logistics.
