The only thing more acceptable to me would be an independent company buying the division, and that would be really nerve-wracking in and of itself.

Anyway, I like the point already made...GM isn't going anywhere.
Have you ever driven a Toyota or Lexus? The word appliance is the only word that fully sums up those products. Fun is to Toyota as not-badge-engineering is to GM. The cars are designed to show good results on paper, but on subjective qualities they're about as fun to drive as a video game car.
