The Big 3 aren't the only ones with issues.

Toyota isn't denying that it might not make a profit this year, Honda has pulled out of F1 Racing, both are laying off thousands of workers, canceling plans for new models, and giving profit warnings. Subaru and Suzuki will no longer participate in the WRC.

Obviously these companies aren't in the same rough shape the Big 3 are, but those names are fixtures in their respective motorsports.

Weird times if you're a car guy. Weird times even if you aren't, actually.
