Throughout automotive history, partnerships have been pivotal. Producing vehicles is an unbelievably expensive endeavor, and automakers can often be sunk by just a few short years. On top of this, countries are protective of their interests, and their governments usually are not fond of the idea of foreign upstarts taking over local industries. These factors have led to the creation of numerous partnerships over the decades, and one of the most notable was Diamond Star Motors (DSM) of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
