Toyota hates the "aftermarket" conversion situation ....
Howdy Jones,
An interesting sidebar includes HSBC which acquired GMAC and GM credit card
while some were sleeping. At this time we have no way of knowing how much of
GM is actually controlled by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
but we can consider the Chinese did a number on HSBC when they took over
Kong Kong and muscled their way into the British banking monopoly.
GM is broke so where are they getting their money?
Toyota and Japan have a neighbor they have feared for some 1000 years called
sun day soon.
