Step 1) Raise prices on H1, H2. They'll sell to morons regardless of price.
Step 2) Put a proper transmission in the GDMF H2 so you can stop having to do so much warranty work on them.
Step 3) Cut every vehicle line that hasn't posted a profit in the past year.
Step 4) Raise prices on Denali, Escalade slightly. Again, morons will buy them anyway.
Step 5) CAMARO! Drag out the old one. No changes. Don't waste money on that. Just bring back the Camaro.
Step 6) Kill off any brands that don't have any cars left, allow the dealerships their choice of any brands they want to carry, or give them the opportunity to jump ship penalty free.
Step 7) HALVE executive salaries. Wave that in UAW's collective face.
Step 8) Kill all the incentives and crap.
Step 9) Consolidate all the factories and production into as few places as possible. UAW will scream.
Step 10) Mexico, Canada. Move production there if possible. It worked for Ford.
Step 11) Take a cue from Ford's SVT program: Contract a tuner shop to make the Camaro re-release PWN. Hell, use off the shelf aftermarket bits to save money.
Step 12) Introduce Vauxhall, Opel, Holden to the United States. DO NOT include them under the GM banner. The average car buyer won't associate them with GM.
Step 13) Kill all the product lines in the traditional GM brands that came from Vauxhall, Opel, Holden (GTO, Sky, that Pontiac thing)
Step 14) Pull the 3 ugliest concepts for the following: A minivan, coupe, sedan from the design drawers, and establish a new brand targeted to young buyers. Sell the cars cheap as hell to the dealerships, mostly stripped, let them finish them.
Step 15) ...
Step 16) Profit!
Step 17) PARTAYYY!
