but you are right, GM will be fine. this will probably end up costing them somewhere around 1.5 billion, but that's not enough to seriously hurt them. and because it happened awhile ago, I doubt people worry much about it when making a purchase.

everybody Is missing this point. People are too busy championing and brand they let emotions get to the better of them. This is why they are being fined not the evil media or govt.
