Move from Detroit, down South, have cheaper operating costs, and lower wages, there workers can move with them, its cheaper to live there
Get rid of all there divisions,(just call all cars GM)
Focus on a smaller number of Models, and build them right
Build a car that doesnt run on gas
Advertise like crazy, (This is the new GM)
Export the New GM to the world market
If they do this, they can beat Toyota here, and abroad!

GM beats Toyota here and abroad now.
Moving south will do nothing for GM. It will destroy a city on the brink. GM has plants all over the US, Canada, and Mexico. Operating costs are gunna be the same no matter where they go. The cost to move the world hq of the worlds biggest automaker would be immense when they just moved into Renn Center, a very beautiful set of buildings.
Getting rid of thier divisions gets rid of years and years of brand management and recognition, and now have to restart all over again.
GM has cars right now that dont run on gas.
GM actually have better sucess as a foriegn brand then as a domestic brand. Yes...GM is admired every where else....but here.
