Well to be perfectly honest, I can't think of any company that would maintain the spirit any better than Toyota. Certainly not "dime-a-dozen Ford" or "looks cool for about a week" Dodge. Toyota has a performance-driven concept in my opinion. The only thing more acceptable to me would be an independent company buying the division, and that would be really nerve-wracking in and of itself.
Anyway, I like the point already made...GM isn't going anywhere. |

If Toyota takes control of the Corvette, I swear on all that is holy that I will buy a one way ticket to Japan and suicide bomb the Toyota headquarters.

Toyota used to have some really great performance cars like the Supra, Celica, & MR2. I used to be a pretty big fan of Toyota when these cars were out, But Toyota slowly killed off these cars and they offer nothing worthy of being considered performance oriented... Unless you're talking about the Lexus IS-F... Toyota has done a HORRIBLE job of maintaining any spirit... They've become too blinded with their global conquest.... I have no respect whatsoever for the Toyota of today...
