I'm trying to decide which brand to take my shot on (the rules say you'd get some model from the brand where you enter) -- probably Saab, but maybe something with better odds.

I don't think you're going to get an easy choice like that. Sounds like there's 1 promotional vehicle per dealership and you probably take what you get. But, who knows maybe you'll get the 1 Corvette they're giving away. And then this gives them your phone number so they can hound you for the rest of your life. Some things just aren't worth the risk...
GM plans to encourage consumers to participate in the promotion with a marketing campaign that includes TV, print, Internet and direct mail advertising. To take part, consumers must visit a local GM dealership and press a blue OnStar button in a designated promotional vehicle.
Contestants will be required to provide identifying information - the last four digits of their driver's licence number and home phone number - to an OnStar operator, who in turn will tell them whether they've won.
