I'm no expert myself, but I think GM still would have ended up in the same place. One big factor in the failure of GM was the concentration on trucks and SUVs. But Hummer only produced 3 true models, with the H2 being the most popular. Between Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick, the market became saturated. Besides the SUV flop when the fuel 'crisis' came, GM was building too many cars using the same parts and platforms. Like Fritz Henderson said, they were producing a bunch of cars hoping one or two would be a success.
I hear a lot about GM cars being unreliable, mainly from the people that drive hondas and toyotas. Theres even jokes about it now. I just don't see it. This is the mentality that killed GM. I don't see how theyre any less reliable than any other manufacturer. I think its more of the dealership, and service that gave GM a bad name.
