>All those cars were pretty much the same under the sheet metal within a corporation

But should they be? Doesn't seem terribly innovative or competitive to me.

"Auto companies need economies of scale."

I am not so sure that is true any more. At least in the way it has been done in the past. I think that the design and marketing needs to be split from the manufacturing, like is done with personal computers. That way the manufacturers can focus on what they do best, as would the others.

But, I am a big fan of "The World is Flat"...
