GM/Toyota partnership
interesting reads for those who always wondered why their old 80s nova had a 4a-ge or why their pontiac vibe doesnt have an emblem on it...or maybe why there are RHD cavaliers with toyota emblems in japan

definately a cool venture, had no idea that the tacoma/hilux platform originated from a global design and not toyota's own doing. still cool.
check out the page with the billboard advertising the 80s nova. "imported from our own country" LOL.

Theyve done it for years. 2nd to last company I'd want to be affiliated with, but whatever. I'll be damned the day I see a pushrod or even a SOHC Toyota come out in the future.

I got love for the Yota's.Btw, for some reason I'm betting the last company you would want to be affiliated with would be ford,

How did you know?I dont know why, but for some reason I've always had this thing against Ford, even though they make my 2 favorite trucks in their class (Powerstroke diesel, and Ford Lightning), I like the Ford GT, and the SVT Cobra is something I fear.
I have love for Toyotas too, thats my company right there, I'm just pissed that they wont make anything remotely fast...their fastest vehicles are tied with the X-Runner at 7seconds along with the new Solara, of all things. Well whatever
