Me either...In fact, I started thinking about whether or not Toyota will stay in the race. I just cant see why they literally prodded the big three as they did with the confrontational advertising unless they plan on staying for the long haul, no matter what. If they dont, they'll loose face with their customer base - affecting sales across all models.

If they (Nissan) does pull the plug, it will be tough on them and the truck market will loose another motivator - competition=progress by motivation.

On a positive side, this could be good info for investors to buy loss options, LOL.

On the Toyota drive line - I think its a cover for a different issue - a design change affoot, but just my opinion.
They cant copy existing patented designs. BTW, there are more auto design patents then any other kind by an incredible magnatude.
