It really shows you how long negative PR or market acceptance can last, doesn't it. I have no doubt that their cars are vastly superior to years-past, but the perception lingers. Still, Seth Godin has some basic re structuring ideas around their out dated delivery systems, etc. Big hurdles to overcome ahead, which might take longer and more money than they will get. Then...what about all the other businesses...hospitality companies, motel owners, small biz owners...I am glad I am on the outside looking in on this one. Exactly right, Brad.

I'm no fan of bailouts, but if keeping the Big Three on life support buys them time, maybe that's better than risking a sudden collapse in Chapter 11. Eventually these companies are either going to stage the biggest turnaround in the history of business or just wither away.
