Keep it in perspective people, if Toyota ( #1 worldwide ) are bleeding dollars, what are # 2, 3, 4...etc.. doing? In the end it will only mean that ALL of them will start building cars that they can afford to and not the cars that we want to buy. How long till all Fords are front wheel drive 1.5 ltr. ethanol burners? Dearborn will not bankroll a rear wheel drive IL6 or V8 for Australia when the U.S. Government, acting as a major "shadow" shareholder, starts to demand a return on their generous handouts. Yeh, I know many out there frown on the rice-burners, but take a long hard look at what Nissan have done with the new GT-R, if you don't keep raising the bar you will fall under it
