The good news is their competitors will and in due course the consumer will have what it wants.

MB and BMW decided to share platforms for their B-Class/1 Series cars and their S-Class/7 Series in 20008 and that seemed to work fine. But then again BMW clearly has less market segment in the luxo sector so MB would have recieved more benefit. F-O working with competitors can be beneficial.

Both these companies compete in a number of segments so you don’t really want to be helping a competitor. Both make superb DIEsel engines on their own, so i don’t see any need to do a joint venture. None the less, BIGT[tm.F-0]have made in clear its future for hypermileing is totally hybrid/ulp, it seems to offer DIEsel only under duress! Cheers F-0 !*****PRIMO!*****
