I'm not going to get into this one and that one for 160 brands if there are that many.Seems like several/numerous of the popular ones are owned under two names and there might be a LOT more.Why don't you research it so we can discuss it? The point is its not by any means rocket science to make one.Lots and then again I don't have figures are and have been made at home and by numerous wana be manufactures.They seem very over priced for what the product is.Maybe this economy will bring some products in line with reality.

My sister works for a company that makes airbags that go into most makes of cars.
Last week and this coming week, they sent all their emplopyees home. Told them they could take vacation, sick or personal leave if they wanted to get paid, or simply stay home with no pay.
The reason was there is no demand. The production of cars in the US has dropped so low that they have over supplied the system and have to wait several weeks for the auto makers to consume whats in the supply line.
