No, Toyota is going to buy Cat.











It must be true. My neighbors son has a friend who's father works at the plant next to Cat, and he knows someone who works there...and he said that that guy knows someone in accounting that heard that from the janitor.

Here's the true story behind all these Cummins rumors. At one time, Ford owned a piece of Cummins, but not any more. There is NO truth to any rumors that Ford will buy Cummins.

Cummins owns Cummins and sells engines to Chrysler.

NO...........But ford is about to have to sell volvo

I hate to see that happen......they're a great company and I'd hate to have to support someone else when I can finally afford to go and get my new s60 sport edition.
