Change at GM is mostly about cutting costs to boost profits, not make
a better product.With GM having 70% of cost of building a car going to
labor, quality will suffer. Unless they start spending less money on
labor and more on car parts and quality, they will slowing go down the
toilet as Toyota is nipping at their heals now after overtaking Ford.
The future is not bright for GM unless they can get labor cost in
check.
