Snippet: It could be said that major car parts are developed jointly by carmakers and their affiliates...
So, "It's like fattening a rival company at Toyota's own development expenses," says Toyota official. Some Toyota executives said, "We may have to pressure (the parts makers) not to do business with Hyundai. It may sound extremely drastic, but we may have to think of raising the stockholdings of our affiliates to make them do as we tell them."

Don't suppose we'll hear from Freidman about this. But if you changed it to "GM tells suppliers not to sell parts to Toyota" then he'd be bellowing, lol.

I guess it's just another way Toyota is moving forward. Not.
