BMW AND TOYOTA BUDDY UP

The companies agreed to set-up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle that is to be completed by the end of 2013. The two companies aim to combine each other's technology and knowledge at a high level to maximise customer satisfaction. Both companies are to share the vision to further collaborate in the field of sports vehicle development.

Mutations galore.

Why should this sort of DNA mix when its really not a match.

Mind boggles and am not sure where the future will take us in terms of car development.

Well that's interesting Shawna. You wouldn't really say Audi and Lamborghini or Audi & Skoda do or Porsche & Skoda yet they are all now part of the same group.

It's a way of the independent companies remaining independent by sharing R&D cost.
