Michigan has been in recession for sometime, which is why it's curious that those folks keep electing Democrats. Granholm is one of the bigger political mistakes that state has made.
I think someone coming in to take over those assets says..."Screw building cars in michigan Lets build them in brazil, china and india. We pay 1/8 the costs and no unions" Now the big three have been going towards this model for a long time but a bankruptcy just ushers the move faster.
