Yeah, its official, no more American cars. Everything is all combined into one monopoly

Car companies have had joint ventures like this for a very long time. This is nothing new. Working together on hybrid technology is win win for everyone. It lowers the cost that comes down to the consumer and further decreases our dependency on oil. I love seeing rival companies work together.

I know that they have worked together in the past. All I am saying, is it has become more and more and more over the years. I just feel like there is no such thing as an American car anymore with all the parts made elsewhere and different manufactuers engines and trannys in alll cars n such. Sorry if I'm rambling.
