Ya know, my father is fairly heavily involved in the restructuring operation. He was talking this weekend about how GM is handling the loan agreement, and negotiating with the UAW, and the stakeholders. Its quite amazing how dynamic they've made their management to handle the terms of the loan. He said they've formed 26 separate task forces which each handle a negotiation or a clause of the agreement. They have lawyers and upper management all over this thing, most of them doing things they've never had to do before. Its very interesting to hear him talk about whats going on.
On a side note, I notice more and more that GM vehicles are getting respect they have never had in the past. Online car magazines and review sites are now putting chevy's, caddy's, and buicks atop their charts, rather than tearing them a new one. And the community is finally starting to realize it too. Its inspirational to see someone with a username like GT-RRules! say something like "Man GM is really putting out some kick ass vehicles". My dad says he feels R&D have done their job, manufacturing has done their job, now its up to the marketing dept to do their job. If people outside of the car forum sites start seeing what GT-RRules! saw, America might just have a chance at retaining their automotive industry. On so many levels, I hope that occurs.
