Greg S,

Who makes the parts of a car? Ford puts the pieces together, why don’t they manufacture the air bags or the windshield wipers or the head lights? Certainly they could get in the head light business, but they choose not to. Why doesn’t the company that makes the radio also make the head lights? Both are components in a car and it is the same business, no?

Certainly there could not be a new entry into the car business, could there? It is a very mature business with some heavy hitting companies and any new developments from your perspective would be derived by an existing player or bought out. How did XM radio roll out? Why didn’t Ford buy them out? Why not GE? Why not GM? Why didn’t Ford develop the idea or GE?

Silly thinking.
