Even manufacturers do it too.
Yes, Auto Makers do share to make there cars better, why reinvent the wheel when another company has what you want. But to put a motor in a car that is from another manufacturer is Sacrilegious.

GM used Honda V6's and Toyota I-4 cause GM sucks in those areas.
Lotus doesn't make motors so they outsource.

Nothing wrong with collaboration, because it's a win-win just like Mitsubishi, Dodge, Hyundai. You get the 4B11
