I can't follow all the colored lines, they make it seem like there's some incest there.

Interesting to say the least...hard to follow but it's there. I knew about most of those but some did get me by surprise.

There's a red line that goes from Toyota to Mazda, which means Toyota owns Mazda? Since when?

Edit: I posted a few seconds after the poster above.

If the direction of the arrow means anything, it looks like Porsche owns all the goodies. (Shouldn't the arrowhead be on the other side?)

But I could be wrong. It's a little confusing...

Wouldn't it be "who owns whom?"

I think the whole Toyota section is all screwed. Mazda leases hybrid technology from Toyota so there is a connection but the line should be blue, not red. Same with Subaru, which could also be green (although Toyota owns a small part of Fuji, the parent company of Subaru, but still that's not full and direct ownership) . Lexus and Scion have the right colors (red) but should be arrows, not lines (who owns who?)
