Automakers enter into joint ventures all the time, witness the cooperation on a V6 engine years ago between Peugeot, Volvo, and Renault. While Ford sold off many of the other car companies they had, I believe they kept Volvo, please correct if I'm wrong, Bill. If there is any way for Ford to learn new efficiency procedures by working with Toyota, I say go for it. Toyota and other Japanese companies learned the same things from the Americans decades ago, this would just be returning the favor. What Ford needs to learn most of all is to plan much better than they have for the future, and to keep evolving that efficiency along with making better cars and trucks that get better gas mileage. I think Ford can do this, but they have to be really committed to it.

Yet for as much as people bash Ford, they are in better finacial shape then is GM and Chrysler...Chrysler is barely avoiding bankrupcty right now, GM is inches from it and Ford has enough cash to make it through 2010-even in the very worst case.

Don't think it will happen anytime soon.

Ford and Mazda should still be partnered up to share some platforms.

i dont see that lasting with Toyota in the mix.
