Yeah, I know that. Toyota was trying to help them build a higher quality
car. Gm figured it didn't serve the shareholders to make cars a little
better. "We're losing money on every car we sell, but we'll make it up on
volume."

GM probably couldn't make enough for management bonuses, super fat
pensions, Wagoner's take and the political contributions. Plus Toyota
probably made GM pay it's bills or no cars.
