Good. German automakers are known for squeezing their suppliers dry. Well guess what, maybe what they provide is worth more than the pittance the German car industry is willing to pay.

What I'm hoping for is competition that is willing to pay "fairer" prices, pushing prices up. The position of automakers against smaller suppliers is just so strong otherwise.
