The balance sheet.
General Motors hasn’t been able to enjoy the benefits associated with a clean, healthy balance sheet in years, if not decades. A strong balance sheet results in proper investment in new product and services, new partnerships, and new talent; it also allows the company to explore opportunities that are sometimes not directly related to the company’s core operations, but may pay off big time in the long run.
In other words, General Motors has everything it needs to be a prosperous, healthy, and class-leading company. And that’s really refreshing for long-time GM fans and enthsiasts, especially compared to GM’s uncertain financial status years ago.

I believe GM game the engineers a little more wiggle room. I remember Bob Lutz talking about how GM had way too many anylists and corporate decisions regarding their cars. In short, the engineers couldn’t work to their potential.
GM finally realized that just because people want cheap cars, doesn’t mean they want bad quality cars. I’m glad the engineers were given more opportunity.
Answer: NOTHING!! I have sold GM products for 35 years. I see no real change same ole poop different day.
In that case, you must be blind. Honestly, do you not see the colossal difference in product from one to the other? Corporate culture? Finances? Some of these are intangible… but still matter in delivering the best product I the market.
