had to check: toyota owns 5% of mazda which makes them the largest shareholder.

TIL Mazda isn't a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota. I thought it was, now I wonder where I got that from.

Ownership changes over time. At one time ford was in control. Which is why I checked - what toyota is doing makes no sense until you see current situations, now there is an obvious expected return on investment (if it works out of course- if it does they will do this to their own factories, if not they will write it off and not lose much.)
