Closing Arguments: New GM or Same Old Lemon?

July 10, 2009 9:31 PM

Ap_gm_auto_090710_mn A new era began today for General Motors -- as the once-mighty American automaker emerged from bankruptcy after just 40 days, declaring an end to "business as usual."

Executives at the car company, which required some $50 billion dollars in bailout money, promised a new focus on customers, high-quality vehicles and new corporate culture.

They also expressed gratitude toward the government for providing them with this second chance.

So tonight, we ask you: Given the companies declarations, do you believe that this is, in fact, a new era for GM? Will this revamped company not only survive, but thrive?

Tell us what you think.
