I have done well over the years owning their stock. Even during difficult times they have always rebounded well. GM is one of the companies that always ahcieves its financial goals.

I hate to say it, but these companies are too far behind, technology-wise, to turn around quickly enough to survive competing against one another.

The article above mentions that GM moving green has already produced jobs and that they might reach their second highest sales level in history. I think changes have to be made, and car companies have to start being much more environmentally conscious. I also think the union mess there has to stop or they're going to get outsourced. They're almost asking for their demise. If GM can put one of the first sporty, attractive, electric cars on the market at a reasonable price; I believe (however optimistic it is) that they will turn themselves around and hopefully their city will follow. I know that not only one car can bring about a change that large but they definitely seem to be headed in the right direction. … but at least they have the Tigers, right? ;)
