GM (Delphi) and Ford (Visteon) have allready done that, have allready shown themselves to be unreliable partners. The slide of the big three will go on, Chrysler is the first to close down, but changes in buying pattern (truck axle anyone?) are much more profound in the short term.

Someone else will come along and dominate the auto world in 5-10 years. My bet is Hyundai/Kia. Eventually diseconomies of scale will kick in and Toyota will slow down.

Toyota is a juggernaut and the Big three are a bunch of sailboats trying to run it off course. I fully respect Toyota for their efforts over the years, it's not dumb luck that they've managed to dominate the industry.

Maybe you also hadn't heard that Toyota's full size truck business is falling apart faster than the big 3. Toyota isn't that great either, unless you want a soulless appliance to look dorky in. hey cracker boy,

It's too bad the U.S. government, and other conditions including buyers of their products with this five year old mentality can't see past that. I'm sure the next few posts will be about how Toyota sucks and how Toyota <i>really</i> wants the Big Three to fail. It’s good for Toyota to try to create a level playing field.

They need the small three so that they can compare their product with the lowest qaulity cars in the market. With Hyundai, MB, VW, and BMW making great strides, the only ones that haven't improved are the laughably small three. Nah, that’s not it.
