You are right. Toyota is very concerned about the impact on suppliers, and rightfully so. That is the real issue for the industry. If one big automaker goes down, what happens to the suppliers they all use? Prices definitely go up for everyone but what if a key supplier folds and the remaining companies can't get critical parts? With Just In Time manufacturing the whole industry would shut down almost overnight.

I can't believe you guys are falling for all the hoopla panic propaganda. Suppliers will still supply regardless, before or after BK adjustments. Right now the Unions still want their cake. And you to eat it.

OTOH, Bush could throw the $14B bailout under tarp and get the Autos to Obama who will give them more money. Union payback.
