Question: Why would ANY other automobile manufacturer trust DCX after seeing how DCX has acted towards Mitsubishi and Hyundai, which it owned part of?
Mitsubishi: As soon as Mitsu hit the skids and was in trouble, DCX ditched them. Funny how the German side of the biz bitched and complained when the US side of the biz was in trouble, but stuck with them - good thing - now the US side of the biz has helped carry the German side. The powers-that-be at DCX didn't obviously think Mitsubishi warranted any such consideration.
Hyundai: DCX bought a decent sized chunk and planned collaboration (in fact, the Dundee, Michigan engine plant is a joint DCX-Mitsu-Hyundai deal) but Hyundai politely asked DCX to obtain their own partners in China; DCX went ahead behind Hyundai's back and latched on to the partner Hyundai had been using.
Again. Why would ANY other car manufacturer trust DCX in a partnership?
