It's scary to think of the short and long term implications to the stability of GM. This is not a sound quick fix.

This is a whole new company, with out most of the dsadvantages that have hampered its competetiveness in the past. Their lineup is best its been in years, quality ratings are strong, cost per car just went way down and they are strong in many of the merging markets. Now if they could just team up with the right asian partner on small cars (hint: they make yellow motorcycles).
