1. Declare bankruptcy.
2. Liquidate Assets.
GM has failed, and it has nothing to offer as a company. Some of its parts might be marketable to more modern companies. The quickest way to end the losses and government bail outs would be for it to dissolve. For decades it has evaded the intent of the environmental laws, grandstanded with concept cars that were never produced, and generally brought the industry into disrepute. Enough is enough. It's time to support new, flexible, and innovative companies.

Why didn't GM move it operations to China faster? If 90 percent of GM cars were created in China could they have survive? Will China offer to buy GM and use the brand too sell Chinese Cars?
Banruptcy does not mean forgiveness of debt. GM will still have to create a working business model. What is the working business model? If you were CEO what changes would you make, immediately?

I did not mean or say the type of bankruptcy that is to restructure debt. I said and meant that the company should immediately declare bankruptcy and let the courts liquidate their assets. I think GM is a failed company that should end now. If I were CEO I would take such steps to wind up the company. Other companies, now small, can and will step up to build the fresh and innovative autos that are needed. Even GM's much ballyhoo'd Volt has pitiful specifications at an exorbitant price compared to the Toyota hybrid, which only needs upgrading to plug-in. The notion that companies should simply keep going forever no matter whether they are useful or not has never been true and should not be.
