I suggest you pay him a visit yourself. Somebody's paying interest on those big Detroit inventories. Sixty days' is more than enough and Detroit would love to have their stock moving as fast as the Prius, the Camry or the Rav to keep their interest expense low. > "Jeff" <news(a)googlemail.com> wrote in message > news:7oJGh.582$3i.42(a)trnddc01... >> >> "Mike Hunter" <mikehunt2(a)mailcity.com> wrote in message >> news:efqdnTwdnoQVxnbYnZ2dnUVZ_hmtnZ2d(a)ptd.net... >>> Can't prove it by me, my local Chevy dealer has two dozen Toyotas of all >>> types on his lot.

Because I post from two or three different computers. Some have a newsreader installed, some do not. For ones with newsreaders, I am cewhite. When I post from Google, I am Ed White. There is no subterfuge involved, just different computers. Ed

The hybrid technology came out of the part of the company that was originally Aisin-Warner. This was a joint venture between Aisin-Seiki and Borg-Warner many years ago (late 60s, early 70s). Eventually this became the primary supplier of automatic transmissions to Toyota. At some point Borg-Warner was kicked out. Toyota has some ownership interest in what is now called Aisin AW Co., Ltd.. With Japanese companies it is almost impossible to figure out who owns what. Still Toyota never mentions that they buy their automatics from Aisin. I suppose since they own part of the company, they don't have to mention that. Aisin also sells automatic transmissions to Ford (6 speed for the Fusion for one) and GM. Ed |
