Where do you think the automotive industry is going? . . .What do you think will happen to the structure of the industry's current leading brands? . . .Who do you think will rise up from the bottom of the pack? Who will have to fold as a result of the competion?

IMHO . . . I think it's clear that Toyota/Lexus/Scion are going to continue gaining market share, which will lead Toyota to be the undisputed God of the automotive industry. . . . Ford & GMC will have to get serious about there product, because there "domestic brand loyality" will run-out . . . i think they will continue to build links (projects) with Japanese car makers just to stay afloat. . . .As long as Mercedes brings up its reliability to a fair margin, they will always in my opinion have a successful following, based on their rich history.

The biggest change in the near future will be how Hybrids and Electric cars will out number Gassers . . . I also think that small personal cars (1 person only) will be produced and roads lanes will be split in two! ... All in order to combat urban traffic problems

That's just some of my thoughts
