I’m not sure they’re driving with an eye in the rear view mirror. Yes, they might be looking in the rear view mirror, but it appears they’ve been in “Park” for years now. Too many years of trying to avoid going in reverse maybe? Customers push changes in the marketplace much too quickly for that. It’s an interesting business story with deep roots in politics - and getting deeper by the week. If nothing else, the next month will be an interesting study of the dialgoue between debt holders, equity holders, politicians, and voters. I suppose it's much too late to call a mulligan on this thing and start with a “do over?” Ah, where to begin with GM? I’m not sure they’re driving with an eye in the rear view mirror.

Really sad.
