With a quick exit from bankruptcy proceedings, General Motors comes to bat with renewed vigour and surprising power. Though its Sales Stats in Canada and the USA failed to ignite celebrations last month, General Motors has been pleased of late with its global performance.

If sales come on line, too, other conglomerates won't know what hit them.
