They could be selling cars left and right and with poor financial management still be in the same shape they are in today.
Okay...after all that...would you accept the idea that now, at the point when most everything you want to see happen HAS happened...the economy has absolutely tanked, and no matter how much restructuring or cost cutting is done, GM will loose money due solely to the fact that nearly 30% of their sales have disappeared, and among them their most profitable models?
