I have long suspected that CR has an editorial bias against American cars. American cars seem to get dinged for stuff that Japanese cars get a pass on.
OTOH there's stuff that the domestic car makers could do to improve the product. Like, letting the engineers do their damn jobs and stop overruling them with bean counters at every turn.
I suspect that bankruptcy for GM is one of those "crazy like a fox" moves: it'll allow them to slough off their considerable legacy costs--notably retiree pension and health benefits--onto the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
