1) Lost money in Q3 (although it looks like they still have positive cash flow).
2) Well-documented pension and postemployment cost problems that eat into their margins.
3) Product mix focused on SUVs and trucks over the last decade leaves them poorly positioned with prolonged high gas prices.

I wouldn't buy them because I think their cars are pretty medicore. Their financing divsion makes all the money, and if I want to own a financing company, I'll go buy a bank or something else.

That being said, I think you could do a lot worse. They'll probably be able to avoid bankruptcy and have a 4% dividend yield that they should be able to keep paying out.
