And if GM goes under because it's ignored the
rest of the world and concentrated on the US
market, while Toyota has looked at the other
continents, what's going to happen to those
domestic suppliers selling mainly to GM? Who's
going to pick up the slack? Toyota/Honda will
likely. Honda Makes the Goldwings in the US, only
to my knowledge. They export them from here to
the European and Asian market. I expect that if
their demand rises, they'll start buying more
parts from the US market to fill the gap.
