European operation ownership reduced?

"GM received loans from European governments in 2009, and has reduced its ownership stake in European operations as part of its reorganization." (under Company overview) Looks like it need update.North wiki (talk) 22:39, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

U.S. Sales

U.S. sales information upto April 2010: As Saab was sold at the end of Feb., shouldn't the first two months' sales of Saab be considered as part of G.M.'s sales?North wiki (talk) 19:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Bailouts

This section doesn't belong here. It should be moved to General Motors Chapter 11 reorganization. Recent events are not inherently the most important information about a company, see WP:RECENTISM. --Vossanova ^o< 18:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Someone needs to move it. Bill Heller (talk) 21:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I'll do it. I'll leave it unedited. --Vossanova ^o< 16:11, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Disney

Is it worth mentioning the rides (such as Test Track) at the DIsney parks that GM have sponsored? For that matter, is it worth mentioning Michael Moore in any way?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 17:19, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Michael Moore is already noted in a section at the bottom, "Books and films", that links to an article on the film. Do you have any references or a photo for the Disney park rides? This may be more suited for History of General Motors (any other editors want to weigh in on this?), but perhaps a sentence or two could begin a separate headed section on sponsorships below the "Philanthropy" or "Spin-offs" sections. For example, there used to be a golf tournament that was sponsored by Buick; Cheryl Ladd hosted for a few years sometime in the past dozen or so. Abrazame (talk) 21:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Expelling the Canadian Diplomat...wait, that's Dodge

In the Discontinued Brands section, the Canadian Envoy links to Vauxhall Victor, which is a model and not a brand. That article reads:

"In Canada, it was marketed as both the Vauxhall Victor (sold through Pontiac/Buick dealerships) and the "Envoy" (marketed through Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealers)."

This is all way before my time: if I'm in error in removing it from this list, please correct the Vauxhall Victor article and revert my edit here. Abrazame (talk) 04:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't know, having just done the edit, now I'm pondering whether you can technically have a model without a brand. For example, it says it was "marketed through Chevy/Olds dealers", yet it doesn't say it was marketed as a Chevy or an Olds. If it wasn't a Chevy, or an Olds, and it wasn't (in Canada, at least) a Vauxhall, either, then I guess what was merely a model in the UK may well have been marketed as a brand unto itself in Canada. If so, that distinction should be more clearly made at Vauxhall Victor. (Or is this phenomenon perhaps more common than I think? Any refs for other instances of such?) I'm uncomfortable about making this edit if I'm incorrect, so I'm going to revert my deletion, but consider this to remain an open question at this page for someone else interested or familiar to weigh in on.

third parograph

should Holden and GM Daewoo be mentioned in the third paragraph? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.235.92.237 (talk) 03:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Management

Greetings all, Under Section 1.2 regarding Management, the space for Vice Chairman of Global Product Operations currently links to the wiki page for Thomas, which should read as Thomas G. Stephens, per the correct citation. Also, how would the community feel if entries were created for Stephens as well as Timothy E. Lee and David N. Reilly based on the current cited biographies so this section of the entry contains no links to non-existant pages? GMArchivist (talk) 20:58, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Stock Investment

Should this item be part of the GM article?

- Anyone who purchased GM stock in the past 50 years and held the stock would be losing money on GM stock. tuco_bad 15:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cgersten (talk • contribs)

Really?

Nothing about how the Unions brought down GM? NPOV, yes! Very much!
