Honda out of F1

I just saw this story on Autoblog a minute ago, and I'm still trying to decide whether I'm suprised or not. On on hand, Honda should have enough money to weather the storm, but on the other hand they have had shite results and is certainly not getting a good return on their investment. Now, what will be interesting in seeing what Toyota does. Their sales have decreased about as much as Honda's, but their F1 team has been improving and is now within reach of the number three position. Do they bail out now, after having blown shedloads of money to get to this position? Or do they bite the bullet and keep pushing, taking advantage of their deep pockets to get a leg up on the other teams that will most likely be looking at reducing their spending? Maybe poach Ross Brawn from Honda? Interesting...
