As you’ve likely heard, between enforced mergers, massive layoffs and its interim CEO Frederick A. Henderson saying this morning that bankruptcy was “probable,” General Motors is in some mighty hot water. And though we’re scared by the idea of the city with the highest unemployment rate in the country losing one of its biggest companies, it’s clear that GM will never be its same brashly pro-American, macho, gas-guzzling self again. As we look forward to a more responsible corporate identity from their Detroit HQs, here are 10 Commercials to Remember General Motors By.
