threetonesun Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 There are only 5 major car companies. They own all the others, and I believe (not sure) Honda is the only one to be an independant major companies (owns no others). BWM is also alone, but they own Rover and Mini now. Much more depressing is the fact that Ford, Lincoln, Jaguar, and Aston Martin share parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samoa Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I have a Mazda 626 V6. I love it. My wife wants a truck. So our next one will be most likely the Toyota 4Runner. I like that truck also. I would also look at the Suzuki Grande Vitra, or Toyota whacha-ma-callit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Ford Motor owns Aston. Fiat owns Ferrari and Maserati. Volkswagen owns Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti. From here:http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2002/0415/286.html Fiat does own Ferrari though, and has for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
