Here is an excellent read on the reverse engineering General Motors does. Courtesy of Wired News.

A silver Lexus RX 400h hybrid SUV is suspended on a lift in a room the size of a soccer field at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. It was purchased off the lot just a few days ago for $49,000, loaded, which seems a waste, since it’s already a carcass. Mechanic John Klucka has removed its tires and engine and doors and seats and dashboard and, well, just about everything but a few wires and the windshield. “This is a complicated vehicle,” he says, unbolting the engine from its frame, “and I’ve got no manual, so I’m taking it apart blind.”
