If GM doesn't think it can make it without federal money why not use that money instead to help Ford buy up what it wants from GM?

4. After GM colluded with Exxon
to crush its electric cars, then made a half-assed effort with the Volt, it might be time to let their managment go and fold their workforce into a company that's actually interested in making a viable product. The workers shouldn't suffer, but their upper management certainly don't deserve any more chances. The last GM product I bought didn't even make it out of the lot before stuff started falling off of it. (That was the last GM product I bought, years ago. It dripped parts continuously until I got rid of the POS.)

Save the workers. Fire the management.

6. If you like working on automobiles
GMs is the ones to buy cause they have the parts changer in mind when they're designed. Ford on the other hand are very difficult to work on but the good part is they seldom need any work on.
