2. The Big 3...

will soon be the Big 2 and they'll both be so far out of first as to be insignificant. Toyota is already killing them in the family car line - wait until you can get an SUV with the power and size of a Cadillac Escalade with the fuel economy of a hybrid and Toyota's reliability.

The Big 3 won't know what hit them.
