i thought ford owned more of mazda? ... how much do u have to own to have input into the ar making process?

 

im not sure. but this link http://carscarscars.blogs.com/index/..._owns_who.html
is kinda good info.

 

Isn't GM a minority shareholder in Subaru?

 

Toyota bought if from them.

 

toyota should take over

 

Good Info, I knew most of them!

 

in next 20 years there will be only 2 left Toyota, honda owns the lot divided. he he he

 

Toyota only owns just under 10% of FHI. GM sold off their 20%, but Toyota only bought 8-9%

 

There is a wierd thing in Japanese law that says all publically help incorportated businesses need a 2/3 majority to do act. Which basically means if you own 1/3 or more of a company, you can stonewall them at your will. Having 33% basically gives Ford control of the board as they can effectively veto anything they don't want. In Mazda's case, I think the next largest stake holder is only like 8% or something.
