They are clueless.  GM and Isuzu have a partnership where they share products and technology.  GM took their leading pickup design and Isuzu took they leading diesel design and created the Duramax diesel pickup.  This partnership has been in existance since 1971, this is where the Chevy LUV came from.  They currently are 49% invested in the company.   Neither own each other. BTW, They also partner with Suzuki (sidekick)
