I was at a job interview at a GM dealership. Durring the interview we discussed the automotive economy and the service manager told me that most likley, Toyota and GM, as well as Nissan may merge. As he explained it, GM is the largest, with the most resources and facilities. GM builds thier trucks the best, while Toyota builds the better cars. GM has what Toyota lacks, and Toyota has what GM lacks. I guess Nissan is along for the ride. All I know is that will be one big car company. Ford is getting smaller every day.

Wow- I've heard of GM/Nissan talk - but not Toyota too. That would be one hell of an automotive giant!

Because GM has plenty of plants doing nothing and they want to build more. Plus, what about full size trucks, they arn't doing too hot there. Tundra 2500... doesn't exist... but it might soon.

Ford is a european/mexican car company now. They outsource like no other.

Many Ford and Honda will merge... that would be funny.

It's Nissan and Renault. Toyota isn't in that mix. http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/ticker/article.asp?Symbol=US:GM&Feed=AP&Date=20060718&ID=5875746

GM and Nissan are looking at a partnership... There won't be any ownership changes. There was a rumor that Toyota was going to get in on that, but Toyota recently stated that they don't plan on any partnerships. And to be honest, they probably don't need the help...

Great, that's all the world needs. We finally get a car maker worth a dang (i.e. Toyota) and now it may merge with the cheapest and lowest form of car ever created from plastic, fiberglass and Dexcool:

1 cant see why they would even th1nk of that. Not a good 1dea. W1th the st1gma attached to GM, Toyota stands to lose the1r customer base.
