Re: Not liquidity. Solvency. (none / 1)

As I understood it, the GM group as a whole has been losing money.

i.e. GMAC profits are less than GM Auto losses.

That is what they have been reporting. The truth? I don't know. I haven't looked at their financial statements in 20 years.

I do know they make crappy cars no one wants to buy, even with cheap loans as an inducement.

That's my understanding as well. I was under the impression that GMAC was being sold off though.
