Toyota is in some serious trouble and there is more and more evidence that they will be overtaken by Volkswagen in the next years concerning sales numbers. They have to look out for new partners to reduce costs and share platforms. The rumors are based on an article in the magazine Auto, Motor & Sport. The people there are normally very well informed...

Why on earth should Mercedes team up with Toyota? To see how they copy?

Oh my god, that is definitly a rumour or a late Aprils fools joke.

On the other hand, the planned cooperation with BMW could be a success.

Tom43..and you are? Man you sound like you've been abducted by aliens or maybe you're from one of the other planets that the rest of us have already figured out "there is no oxygen out there in space"! Toyota is in serious trouble and there is more and more evidence they will be overtaked by Volkswagon? Is this guy a numbskull or what?
