>>I think some of the GM hate originates from people being sore about the bailout.

The "sourness" is not about the bailout per say, it is the fact they took American Tax Payer money and used that to move the bulk of their manufacturing to Mexico, including parts manufacturing. The American tax payer built their automotive factories in Mexico. The bailouts was to "protect American jobs" but it simply delayed the layoffs until they got the Mexico factories going
