You just seemed to go several directions in a single post, so I was sure which direction you wanted to go.
Briefly.
Auto execs driving competitor's cars? Auto execs have every right to drive whatever car they want, but if they were smart they would drive the car they manufacture.
Merging auto manufacturers? It's been happening for 100 years. But it would be kinda sad to see Ford and Chevy merge.
Imports vs. domestics? The Japs build a solid car, probably the best. They just lack personality and excitement and are built for people 5'8".
Toyota overtaking GM? People have been saying that for 10 years, but GM has perfected the art of building cheap disposable vehicles and as long as there is a WalMart mentality there will be a GM car bought.
