This is getting kind of silly. Everybody outsources, has for years. Almost every OEM under the sun uses or has used an Aisin (basically a Toyota subsidiary) transmission in one or more of their vehicles, Ford has used Toyota technology in some of their hybrids, GM has used Honda engines (Saturn Vue), VW sells a minivan that is a rebadged Dodge Caravan, on and on and on.
True, this.
My 2007 Volvo XC90 uses a Yamaha-designed V8 engine and an Aisin 6-speed transmission.
My 2 favorite things about the car?
The Yamaha-designed V8 & the Aisin 6-speed :C
Sometimes I feel like the electricals/electronics on my 2008 F250 were outsourced to Radio Shack but that's a story for another time.
Outsourcing is not always a bad thing, at least for the consumer.
