Business week's cover story is on pension obligations. GM's pension and health-care costs for retirees are $1784 per vehicle. Compare that with Toyota's $200/vehicle. "GM's margins are now 0.5%, among the worst in the industry. But without the burden of pension and retiree health-care costs, the auto makers' global margins would be 5.5%.... closer to Asian carmakers like Honda Motor Corp., which earns 7.5% on its global sales."
