It is a non-answer as it doesn’t address what Americans can do, personally, to help the American auto industry during this current crisis.
And the “new” GM has already pledged innovation so it is a moot point until we see if they can pull it off.
So why don’t you do something positive instead of complaining about the past.

Paddy: Not a moot point at all. You have to learn from the past in order to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
As to GM’s pledge of innovation: They said it, now they have to do it.
Until such time as they deliver quality products at competitive prices things will remain the same.
You conspicuously avoid dealing with any questions about the past because to do so would be a tacit admission as to the fatal mistakes that organized labor and GM made, and I can’t help help but detect the stance of union worker from you (and Scarlet/Rt.66 for that matter). Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it’s obviously creating a bias as to your answers.
The American consumer owes GM nothing. Period. GM, on the other hand, if they plan to survive, has to prove their worth to the American consumer and they have to do it year in and year out from here on out.
Are Jeff Bridges’ voice overs really “demoralizing”? Demoralizing to whom? I don’t pay a lot of attention to commercials (thank God for Tivo), but I don’t recall being demoralized when I watched the Hyundai commercial. Leave The Dude alone. How he makes a buck is his business and as long as he’s not breaking any laws, what he does is entirely up to him. As an American, you should respect that.
Besides, if you don’t have a job, why are you wasting time here sparring with me and FLU when you should be out looking for work?
