In Toyota's discussions with both GM and Volkswagen, Jagawa said one problem that could potentially delay an early agreement is their difference over the definition of "competitive" components Toyota considers a wider range of parts competitive, including steering wheels and in some cases even wire connectors, whereas GM and Volkswagen seem to believe many components can be standardized without hurting competitiveness. "They think we can compete on things like styling and packaging of vehicles; we believe we compete component by component in creating a competitive vehicle," said Jagawa.
