Lost among all the talk about the sparkly "new" GM is the leftover business of the "old" GM. You remember that GM right? The one with all those pesky liabilities, old factories and unwanted brands.

He went on to say that the wind down could take two to three years while CEO Fritz Henderson added that environmental concerns could push the amount even higher.
