TOKYO - Toyota has agreed to buy an 8.7 percent stake in Japanese automaker Fuji Heavy Industries from General Motors Corp., officials from both companies said Wednesday, in a deal that will make Toyota the top shareholder in the company that makes Subaru cars.
GM needs cash badly, Toyota has a shitload. Fuji recently worked with NEC to come up with some fancy new battery technology - possibly one reason Toyota is interested, to help with their hybrid developments.
