[AT] Big Truck Pickups

[James Peck]

Toyota does a really good job at controlling the manufacturing process. Not so good at the attractive design process.  Toyota refused an offer to take GM for free in the 2008 GM bankruptcy. That was an extremely wise decision. Everything necessary to make GM work well would have been politically unpopular.

Remember, Toyota can manufacture cars and trucks in the US using Americans and make money. There may be more.

Steve Offiler AT List member Mechanical Engineer (soffiler at gmail.com); So which automotive companies in your estimation are not run by cabbage heads?

James AT List Member (jamesgpeck at hotmail.com); They have cabbage heads running Ford as well. The recent Ranger is far less attractive than the one that preceded it.
