GM aquired like 30% of Isuzu in a deal to open the US market to the Isuzu namebrand instead of being rebadged. Now 30% ownership while not a majority is enough to control the company especially when Isuzuu trusted GM. Instead of using patents and technology to put good GM and Isuzu vehicles on the road GM stifled creativity and used their authority to keep Isuzu from competing against GM. I do not imagine Obamas auto CZAR will bring any creativity to the process more like Russian style box cars with poor quality electric engines. But we all work together for the glory of the leader.
