I have always driven Fords but even if I were a GM person, I could not see myself buying another GM product. I think that they are going to have a very difficult time getting the general public to purchase their cars.

My understanding is that there is a New GM and an Old GM, so perhaps the New GM can be profitable at some point in time - but, what about the Old GM? Car companies run by the federal government - it's going to be a disaster.
