An interesting take. I can't see Toyota going all the way to the altar
with GM though. What would Toyota get out of it? Also, Toyota has a
long history of being an independent company in mind and action.
Nissan, on the other hand, started out as a company which was always in
bed with at least one foreign company and continues that pattern today.
I can see the long-shot Nissan-Renault-GM deal happening as a much
higher probability than an Toyota-GM tie up.
