General Motors (GM) makes a wide portfolio of cars and trucks, with brands such as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC. GM also produces cars through its GM Daewoo, Holden, Opel, and Vauxhall units.

The giant automotive manufacturer went through a brief Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in 2009.
