But I thought GM was doing everything that enthusiasts on the internet said they should do:
  • Put a new high performance RWD 4 door sedan on the market? CHECK
  • Brought over "hot hatch" from Europe? CHECK
  • Turned their old folks' luxury brand into a high performance/luxury brand to compete with BMW? CHECK
Aren't those the things that everyone on the internet wants Ford to do? And because Ford didn't do those things, wasn't that why Ford management was "dumb"?

But who had a loss in Q1 and who had a 100 Million net income? It's funny how things work out.

"$1.45 billion hit from its 49% stake in floundering GMAC. The two-month long American Axle strike also cost GM about $800 million, while further support of bankrupt supplier Delphi's restructuring took $731 million from the corporate coffers."

They're taking most of the damage from the mortgage unit GMAC & DiTech (I worked there a while back). Car-wise they're coming along.
