CARS: Who Owns Who
Who owns who?
GM Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Saab AM General/Hummer Cadillac Ford Ford Mazda (partial ownership) Mercury Lincoln DaimlerChrysler Chrysler Dodge Mercedes-Benz Jeep Mitsubishi (partial investment) The VW Group VW Audi Lamborghini Skoda Bentley Seat Bugatti then theres Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti, Honda/Acura - these are companies that make structurally ideantical cars in two different classes. and then there's BMW, who owns Rolls-Royce. BMW owns: -BMW -Mini -Rolls Royce Daimler/Chrysler owns: -AMC (brand discontinued) -Chrysler -Dodge -Eagle (brand discontinued) -Hyundai (Daimler/Chrysler only owns 10%) -Jeep -Maybach -Mercedes-Benz -Mitsubishi (Daimler/Chrysler owns 37%) -Plymouth (brand discontinued) -Smart Fiat owns: -Alfa Romeo -Ferrari -Fiat -Lancia -Maserati Ford owns: -Aston Martin -Ford -Jaguar -Land Rover (bought from BMW) -Lincoln -Mazda (Ford owns 33% of Mazda) -Mercury -Volvo cars Fuji Heavy Industries owns: -Subaru General Motors owns: -Buick -Cadillac -Chevrolet -Daewoo (GM owns 44%) -Fiat (GM owns ~20%) -Fuji Heavy Industries (GM owns ~20%) -GMC -Holden -Hummer -Isuzu (GM only owns a percentage) -Oldsmobile (brand discontinued) -Opel -Pontiac -Saab -Saturn -Subaru (GM owns 20%) -Suzuki (GM only owns a small percentage) -Vauxhall Honda owns: -Acura -Honda Hyundai owns: -Hyundai -Kia Nissan owns: -Infiniti -Nissan -Renault (Nissan owns 15%) PSA Peugeot Citroen owns: -Citroen -Peugeot Porsche is an independent company (they do work very closely with VW, however) Renault owns: -Nissan (Renault owns 44%) Toyota owns: -Lexus -Scion -Toyota Volkswagen owns: -Audi -Bentley -Bugatti -Lamborghini -SEAT -Skoda -Volkswagen *Side Notes* GM owns 20% of Fuji Heavy which owns Subaru Rollys Royce is primarily an independant company that makes its money not from cars but from selling airplane and military technology to people other than the USA Daimler Chrysler is simply a name, it is truly Daimler Benz. Mercedes bought Daimler Chrysler. So Daimler Chrysler is really German. Jaguars are not bad because they are made by Ford. If anything Ford turned gas guzzling Jaguars to newer more efficient cars. GM rented its headquarters from Ford, because Ford owned the building in Downtown Detriot. So yeah, all the car companies got their hands in one anothers pockets. They all influence each other and I would'nt be dammed if there was one man, or company that owned a good percentage of all the car companies.  One thing to remember, while the divisions of GM and Ford are just that these day, they were outside companies at one time (Lincoln for Ford, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, Opel, etc for GM) that the parent companies bought and completely absorbed. Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infiniti, and Toyota/Lexus are different in that the upscale brands were invented by the parent companies, and were never separate companies bought and now owned by the parent companies. This is a fundamental difference. Acura, Infiniti, and Lexus were never actual companies.
