Following the government's rejection of its turnaround plan, GM (GM) is holding a press conference to announce its new "Total Confidence Program."

You know, it's one of these deals where they promise support to customers that run into financial hardship.

1. It's appealing to me :)

What's not appealing is that "no interest" ends after 12 months.
