Well let me put that this hypothetically-speaking alternate business history here, then I would rather showcase this thread with links to check out:

The precursor/prequel to this thread:

So therefore, I will recap the priorities Toyota would perform through its takeovers of Citroen, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Chrysler Europe (in which it includes Simca, Rootes, Barreiros), and as well as Honda, on which the latter [Honda] would have become the first to end up being financially merged and reorganised, hence liquidated, into Toyota's orbit:

Automotive WI: Toyota without Lexus, PSA Peugeot-Citroen merges with the Corolla maker by gaining benefit from the French marque's underpinnings
I am not an American or Canadian here, but here is a thread I would post it for anybody. So, there are some ideas why, as something of a prologue: Both Toyota, Peugeot, and Citroen are deeply notable in the Euro-centric World Rally Championship (WRC) for its performances, with both Toyota and...

Automotive WI: Hyundai Motor Group acquires MG Rover, Saab, De Tomaso, Hispano-Suiza, Bentley, Jaguar-Land Rover, Lotus, Mini, and Rolls-Royce
So, let me put that circa 2000s-2010s hypothetically alternate history this way here, for sure @Fuzzy Dunlop, @NOMISYRRUC, @The History Man, @TheMann, @Peg Leg Pom, @Dan1988, and as well as @Rfl23, @Heathswalkingstick might ever keep themselves woke just to see this: At first, the Hyundai...

WI: Ford buys the Rover Company, Saab, and Nissan - Patrol maker later acquires Kawasaki, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru until the latter went bankrupt
Well, let me put that hypothetically and historically-speaking alternate corporate scenario, circa 1950-1960s or c. 1970-1980s, this way here... And here are the invitees of this thread: @Fuzzy Dunlop @Dr Dee @PNWKing @Rfl23 @Peg Leg Pom @AdA At first, the Ford Motor Company (FMC) had itself...

SAAB Automobile AB not sold to General Motors in the 1980s - Outcomes ?
Those of you who know a thing or two about European and Swedish car brands will know that SAAB's history changed quite a bit after it was acquired by General Motors in the late 1980s. General Motors has been blamed, especially since the late 1990s or so, of not managing this overseas brand all...

Automotive Industry Without Honda?
There seem to be two main points of divergence where the Honda Motor Company's rise could have been derailed. During World War II Soichiro Honda's first company Tokai Seiki which manufactured engine rings had one factory destroyed by bombing and another due to earthquakes, selling what could be...

Automotive WI - Citroen without Peugeot
In OTL a number of blunders by Citroen (along with Maserati) almost led to the company's demise, with Citroen later being acquired by Peugeot and Maserati being sold off to De Tomaso. What if Citroen made better decisions to prevent themselves going bankrupt or holding out an independent...

So therefore, I will recap the priorities Toyota would perform through its takeovers of Citroen, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Chrysler Europe (in which it includes Simca, Rootes, Barreiros), and as well as Honda, on which the latter [Honda] would have become the first to end up being financially merged and reorganised, hence liquidated, into Toyota's orbit:
- At first, Toyota would have gained benefit from the parts bin Honda utilised for its products, particularly motorbikes, but this was deeply coincidental that Honda made a pact with Toyota to form a deal and thus purchase the former [Honda] circa 1940s.
- Honda later ended up as a nameplate being digested into the stomach of some emerging challenger named Toyota, as while the latter had performed dealing with Yamaha starting circa 1960s, the admission of Honda within Toyota's umbrella meant this even led the company [Toyota] to twist its mind over the potential to make such deals with one of the greatest car manufacturers in the world - for examples: Citroen, Alfa Romeo.
- As a form of challenge, Toyota attracted itself to aim a takeover of both financially-ill European car manufacturers, Citroen and Maserati. As a result, Toyota forged its purchase of both Citroen and Maserati, thus as a result, this benefited Toyota from utilising the underpinnings of the double chevrons - Citroen's nickname - marque's cars and as well as its [Citroen's] deeply vast know-how of developing its cars with the use of front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF layout).
- After that scenario, Toyota even sought more prizes to acquire and possess, and thus one of these were Alfa Romeo and Lamborghini - both European car manufacturers, just like Citroen and Maserati, with the possession of having beautiful designs but terrible technologies.
- Following its takeovers of Citroen, Maserati, Alfa Romeo (AR), and Lamborghini, Toyota for the last time targeted an acquisition of Chrysler's proufoundly ailing European division. This eventually meant Toyota benefited from access to Chrysler Europe's manufacturing plant located in Ryton-on-Dunsmore, which also resulted the former [Toyota] to become in charage of the assembly plant - as this would consider to be Toyota's first attempt to build cars within the European Economic Community.
- But as considered to be an aftermath, Chrysler Europe went bankrupt and reorganised, alongside Honda and Maserati, into the orbit of Toyota. Whereas the Citroen and Alfa Romeo brands on the other hand, remained alive and kicking, and the conclusion was both European car manufacturers benefited from Toyota's technologies - while both AR and Toyota committed each other to gain their cars benefit from Citroen's underpinnings (except for others like Celica, Supra, and others).
