That is nearly 2 years old. Got anything more recent.
The "bail out" is five years old, your point is what?

Hey Man. I'm on your side. I see many of your posts and agree with most of them I also see you getting beat up for many of those same posts.
My point is that the auto market is much changed from 2 years ago. What is GM and Opel doing now? I copy and pasted this most recent clip:
Opel’s success is broad and spans multiple markets. In March, the brand gained market share in ten European countries, including:
?Germany, where Opel enjoyed a March 2014 market share of 7.1 percent, up 0.3 percent compared to March 2013
?Poland, where Opel registrations grew by 57 percent
?Hungary, where Opel reinforced its number one position in the passenger car market
?The Netherlands, where Opel became the most popular automotive brand for the first time since March 2012
?The UK, where sales of Opel’s sister brand, Vauxhall, jumped 17 percent on a year-over-year basis. Notably, Insignia and Zafira were number one in their segments, while Corsa and Mokka were in second place.
GM is still not making money in Europe, neither is Ford, but has shown some improvement. All the auto makers there are still struggling with a weak economy. With the strong unions and tight government control in Europe GM, IMO, should take the hit now get out of Europe.
