I disagree. At least within the past 5-10 years, I'll disagree. GM was one of the first global car companies to invest in China...that's paying off big-time. They're one of the premiere manufacturers in that country with a respect for the Buick brand that shames us North Americans. I would call that seeking to grow.
Then there's the
constant innovation. Did you know that Mercedes buys the Magnetic Suspension system from GM and installs it on their high-end cars? Or that the recent startup Electric car company making the "Karma" came to GM for help on it? Did you read yesterday that the 2010 Equinox will get
32 miles to the gallon without any funky hybrid tech? What about the Cruze, getting Prius-league fuel economy without the fugly looks and hybrid complexity? Or the Volt, completely surpassing the Prius in nearly every way imaginable. Don't forget that in the past 5(?) years, GM's nearly halved its warranty claims, and skyrocketed their brands quality ratings to the point where Buick dethroned Lexus as the highest-quality brand on the market. And finally, in the last 5 years or so, Chevrolet has become one of the most fuel efficient brands on the market, second only to Honda...losing by a meager .3 mpg. There's much...much more. If you don't consider any of that innovation, I don't know what is...

...no? What money have they taken that they can't pay back? They've
lost money...but I'm not aware of any oustanding loans that were unpayable before the economy collapsed, and their income with it...

So did they! Have you not been reading the paper every other week? "GM slashes x-thousand jobs."..."GM to cut salaried workforce"...."GM to idle plants and layoff more labor"....
