Blarg...it's been going on for years. Technology sharing programs have been around for quite a while. Ford and Mazda have had one for probably a bit over 10 years (that I know of)...so a Ranger ends up with a Mazda transmission and a Mazda gets a Ford 2.3L motor. Now GM has hooked up with Honda. Who knows Daimler Chrysler will hook up with. Sad thing is that anymore there's really no such thing as domestic and import...I don't think there's a single car available on the American market (save perhaps a few exotics) that is entirely assembled using parts exclusively from it's company's country of origin. It goes both ways..."imports" and "domestics". So really, import vs. domestics crap is really just a bitchfest.
