In the biggest fail yet to provide small and fuel efficient cars... GM's answer is typical, outsourcing when beaten and after taking BILLIONS of tax payer dollars....

The main focus would be on exporting small cars similar to the Chevrolet Spark, the reports said.
 
If true, GM could end up becoming the first automaker to begin exporting to the U.S. from China: previously announced plans by Chinese manufacturers to crack the U.S. market have so far fizzled.
 
Opting to export from China would help the company, now surviving on $15.4 billion in federal loans, to slash production costs and make full use of its huge investments in factories here.  via Reuters newsvine
