[QUOTE="Tob, post: 11278555, member: 83412"] Brodie, as much as I agree with the adage you quoted, all the major auto manufacturers still reverse engineer each other's latest offerings. When I was an undergraduate, one of my production scheduling classes spent some time at Harrison Radiator (which later became part of Delphi). The test cells in their engineering building had a number of vehicles from various other auto makers in various states of assembly as well as some complete cars being tested on a dyno in temperature controlled rooms. When I asked why they felt it necessary to do this, the GM rep told us that they all do it and that if you didn't keep up - you'd fall behind. That was 1986 and I'm sure they've been doing business that way for almost a century now. [/QUOTE]
