General Motors Corp. is expected to name turnaround executive Al Koch as its new chief restructuring officer to guide the auto maker's trip through Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Koch, a managing director at the advisory firm AlixPartners LLP, will be named to the post when GM files its bankruptcy papers at 8 a.m. Monday at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York's Southern District, these people said. He will be the highest-ranking outsider in GM's officer ranks and oversee about 60 Alix employees working for the auto maker.

Mr. Maggie Carta said GM now stands for “Gone Motors.” Or something like that. I really wasn’t listening to him...

Not unlike 0be. On the other hand GM needs to cut deeply to get to it’s breakeven point inline with current US market sales rates.

It’s all downhill from here. Once Government Motors starts puking out those “green” cars that nobody wants, it should be all over quickly. RIP GM.
