IMHO they need to keep Suzuki (if they haven't already liquidated their stake in it.) The small efficient car market is only going to get bigger. Can't lean on Opel for all your small car engineering when Suzuki can do it as well or better for less.

Ford does pretty well with Mazda.

Chrysler and Mitsubishi had a mutually beneficial partnership before the Evil Daimler-Benz overlords came.

GM already killed Isuzu in the US. If you want an Isuzu? You gotta' go to the Chevy or GMC dealer and get a diesel Silverado.
