Thought part of the problem was that the US government told GM what types of cars to make (envirnomentally friendly) but the US public don't want those types of car? If that's the case, GM are possibly in trouble because of the government's doing.

That article is a bit doom mongering; however, I agree with GM building the wrong cars - in the same they did before being bailed out. Opel/Vauxhall is one good European example of GM's problems: good cars, bad image. Why are people fussed about driving an Opel and buying a Toyota instead?

This article is realistically politically motivated. Most of the claims made there are ludicrous, and with Steve Forbes having a history in politics, is it not obvious why he might be motivated to publish this?
