GM and Toyota have been in bed before. The Pontiac Vibe is built at the NUMMI plant, a joint GM-Toyota facility in Fremont, California. It is basically a Toyota Matrix motor and chassis, but with Pontiac styling inside and out.

Not quite the same 72.

This is a race team who yanked the Toyota motor out in favor of a GM motor.

Hope the camshaft doesn't break or I hope he doesn't sit anything on the tailgate. LOL. 07 Tundras were junk 08 they made some strides. But somehow or another Toyota managed to save the image and still get accolades even though Ford and GM produced much better "quality" trucks in 07.

That truck looks bad. I always thought the Tundra's looked good, didn't know they had a bad rap, only from you Herc. Interesting they suck.

That's cause GM produced so many of the rat motors and parts are much cheaper to come by. Now when you look at the mouse motors it's pretty split between GM and Ford.
