    <description>Turning around consumers' perception of the automaker as it emerges from bankruptcy protection poses a huge challenge.
                        &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
                    
                    
                        Less than six weeks after filing for protection from its creditors, General Motors Corp. is expected to emerge from bankruptcy today as a leaner, greener company but saddled with doubts as to whether it can turn a profit for its new owners, the American public.
