The "new" GM has refused to pay the nearly $1 million owed to the auto industry partnership ELVS, that prevents the leakage of mercury from cars that are crushed. Though this seems like a bad move in the midst of the cash for clunker program, GM stated that since they are a new company whose cars do not contain mercury, they are not responsible for the "old" GM (pre-bankruptcy) cars that are infected with mercury containing parts. Without this money, this program may be forced to shut down.

Lame excuse, GM. You are quite the gem.
