If Honda and Nissan can’t survive at their size, well Subaru and Mazda are tiny by comparison.

      Huh.

      Toyota Motors bought a little over 40% of GM’s former FHI stock, amounting to 8.7% of FHI. (The rest of GM’s shares went to a Fuji stock buy-back program.)[17]

      FHI being Fuji Heavy Industry, which is now Subaru Corporation.

      *Subaru Corporation:

      Owners

      Toyota (20.42%)

      The Master Trust Bank of Japan investment trusts (14.15%)

      Custody Bank of Japan investment trusts (5.28%)

      State Street Bank West Client - Treaty 505234 (1.56%)

      (as of September 30, 2024)[3]

        Nissan made some absolutely terrible design decisions, namely the wide use of CVTs. I think this has contributed to their downfall. I imagine Subaru and Mazda will be OK.
