Hell, government support is how the Jap manufacturers got to where they are today. Part of the tax on every car sold in Japan goes back to the manufacturers as grants for product and technology development.
I do think GM is the manufacturer is the best position to level the playing field on their own. They are just failing to put the money into marketing required to get the job done.
My greatest fear is that the government listens to the union stooges and tries to put more punitive tariffs on automobile imports. Every time they have leveled tariffs in the past, the unions use the extra per unit margin as a way to leverage even more outrageous salaries for the broom pushers and robot watchers.
