OMG, very interesting and at the same time confusing...

 

lmfao, it made my head hurt too

 

The most confusing thing, perhaps, is Saab-Scania. As I understand it, it's the same company, but the chart shows Saab under GM and Scania under VW.

And the Chrysler-Mitsubishi status is also unclear. Chrysler is shown as the owner, but, supposedly, the two split a couple of years ago.

Still a nice post, though, Mike. Very interesting. The only thing is..........we don't know what that chart is going to look like after the bailouts.

 

Great Diagrams, thanks!

I think the Scania issue is related to it being the Truck/engine business (not the cars).

 

woa, that's pretty cool.. learnt a few things (Y)

 

nice post . I was aware of 80% of what is shown . Thanks man

 

Hino is 50.1% Toyota. Who is the mother?

 

Wow thanks for the picture. My printer is printing it and I am gonna post it on the wall. So many joint ventures and technology sharing companies I don't know about.

 

What is the relationship between Toyota and Mini for diesels?

Additionally, I thought the Toyota/Porsche alliance for hybrids was an old rumor?

 

Oy, a headache and now I'm cross-eyed

No wonder past mitsu's endeavor looks like jeep grand cherokee

 

The Endeavor is far better built than the Jeep GC, though its boom-box center-dash is a little awkward-looking.

 

Subaru??? with Toyota? that's so weird

 

^Toyota recently bought a portion of Subaru.

 

That looks like a mapping of electrical wiring for my car. Ha ha.
