General Motors (NYSE: GM ) is facing an interesting challenge. On one hand, its product line is arguably better than it has ever been -- and it's continuing to improve rapidly. On the other hand, sales and profits still aren't as strong as GM would like -- and recent customer satisfaction ratings on GM brands like Chevrolet have been among the worst in the industry.

In this video, Fool contributor John Rosevear looks at this initiative, and at whether it will improve the sales process for customers -- or just make them even more wary of car-dealer tactics.
GM's turnaround is still a work in progress, but Ford's is already rewarding shareholders. But for Ford's stock to really soar, a few more critical things need to fall into place.
