Honestly...what are the chances that that happens? The entire dealer network of the county, including Toyota's, Honda's, Ford's, Chysler's, etc will never let that happen. In fact, as we speak there's a sizable dealer faction working to make it tougher to kill brands off...I don't say this often; but that's a pipe dream.

Secondly, many (not all) of the things everyone wants to see happen at GM is happening already...without the risks associated with bankruptcy. In addition to it being a wild risk, I don't see the point of it.

What they need...is some time, imho.
