List of Denso customers: http://www.densocorp-na.com/corporate/customers.html (big competitor to Delphi and Visteon) Toyota Group member Aisin is the supplier of the Escape Hybrid's automatic transmission: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Aisin_transmissions Aisin AW, formerly known as Aisin-Warner, was the supplier of the 2005-2007 Ford Five Hundred/Mercury Montego FWD 6 Speed Automatic Transmission Much as I want to delight in any part of Toyota having a hard time, keep in mind this is only an auto supplier and several related Toyota Group members, as listed above, are now or have been Tier 1 Ford suppliers. Having said that, let's welcome them to the downturn-recession party. Have a beer boys, or maybe some Sake (Sok ee' - Japanese rice wine).

Hard-Drivin' Man Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 good point len, and so true..... but sad, in a funny way..... Yeah, real funny. Screw these guys. This is our congressmen on the take and their policy of selling the U.S. worker and their families down the river, coming home to roost. Life's a bitch, and then you go back to Japan. Hi Dick Shelby, Mitch McConnell, and Bob Corker. Have a nice day! Losers!!! Out of a job yet? Buy another foreign car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
