You might as well crap in your hand and throw it at whoever said that.
I would hope any Toyota person would know that that is a load of total bull.

ford owns lincoln, mercury and volvo. they used to own land rover and jaguar but have since sold their shares in those companies. tell your friend he is a retard and to not open his mouth when he doesnt know what he is talking about

I believe Ford sold their shares in Mazda (or most of them) to raise cash.

According to this picture, Toyota owns Ford (at least this one, lol. He got sideways and needed a tow)

Yeah, Ford sold off a chunk of Mazda, they're down to 13% ownership, give-or-take.

At the highest it was close to 35% ownership, which was when Mazda B-series pickups became rebadged Ford Rangers.

You know.. all Japanese companies look alike!

GMC Canyon/Chevy Colorado, look at the wheel well shape/tailgate styling. then look at the newer Tacoma, coincidence? or not?

EDIT: Also sold NEW on the same lots.
