General Motors is trying to get consumer confidence in their products back up. So they are doing a plan to where one could go buy a GM car and be able to keep it. If after 60 days, they didn't like it, they could return it and get their money back. GM has had 222,000 people go for this deal, and so far only 200 have returned their cars. However, there are some restrictions. The car must be kept for thirty days. One may return it between 31-60 days. If there is more than $200 damage to it (dings, scratches, etc) you can't bring it back. Also, you can't put more than 4000 miles on it. If one decides to return the car, they also don't get things back like sales tax, rebates and discounts.

My opinion: Hopefully GM cars and trucks are getting better and more reliable. I generally like them and feel that they have quite a history. However, poor management and crappy reliability has made people wary of the big three: GM for issues like computer controlled stuff and fit and finish, Ford for fit and finish and thirsty engines, and Chrysler for fit and finish and reliability, especially with transmissions. So now, all of these are supposed to be revamped. GM seems to be more ready to stand by their cars, but I guess only time will tell if they are any different or not.
