@@Salman-oj5bo Why would u even ask this question stupid...🤣🤣 We don't even Drive Indian cars in our own country...Our roads r filled with Japanese, Korean n German cars...😅😅
Isaiah Wallace I get what you’re saying about other countries manufacturers gaining popularity, except for Japan. Japan has been in the top for a while
Japan's rise also coincided with the decline of U.S. automobile quality during the 70's and 80's. This created a perfect storm for the Japanese to come in and grab large parts of the market. Once people experienced overall reliability of the Japanese product, they were less inclined to purchase a U.S. auto product going forward. I for one fall exactly in that camp.
@@kevin7151 Well yeah, but that along with the overall large population of the US results in America having one of the world's largest Japanese/import scene, which is a good thing
@@bbwon What do you mean explain? Do you think the big companies are just going to sit around? Most are already testing fully electric vehicles, and when they come out, they will be better then Tesla. Rivian will probably eventually overtake Tesla in quality, plus they have a partnership with Ford, so they won't have to worry about funding.
@@vishnusagar7495 Tesla: 2019: More sales than Dodge 2020: More sales than MC 2021: More sales than RAM 2022: More sales than Subaru 2023: More sales than Jeep 2025: More sales than Honda
Probably because most german cars aren't made with the US market in mind, and the few models that suit the US market are probably more expensive than the US and Japanese offerings.
@@Randze Not true. Hummers had a devoted following, and if the badge had been kept would be going gangbusters today. Some of the enviro-weenies didn't like Hummer, which is why when the government took over GM was forced to close it.
@@Alsayid I mean not changing my mind or anything but I did find interest in the Hummer H1 and the other humvees. But the h2 and h3 was a complete flop with plastic everywhere and its bizarre styling. Most people didn't really care about the environment but the gas prices and an MPG of a tank. Its just completely useless to buy one
That, and the release of the new four door wrangler that you always see spoiled high school chicks driving. You know, the ones that are white with the hard-top, and never have a speck of mud on them
@@runnethdown No, it did get government bailout. Ford was not in danger of bankruptcy like the other two, but it received bailout money from another program anyway. www.thebalance.com/auto-industry-bailout-gm-ford-chrysler-3305670
I say this as an American: Japan makes the best cars. My family has been buying cars exclusively from Toyota's brands (Toyota & Lexus) for over 15 years. Two of the cars we have are from 2007 and still run very well. My uncle also owns a 2002 Honda S2000 convertible, and it looks like it was made 5 years ago.
My parents were diehard GM owners for years... until they got fed up with all the repairs and problems. Now they’ve had nothing but Honda and Toyota ever since, and have never looked back. I’ve enjoyed mine as well.
Electric cars are just a fad. Oil will always be superior. Too many powerful people getting nasty rich and it isn’t just Americans, it’s worldwide. These powerful elites will not allow anything to threaten their piggy banks.
Proud to never own or drive another Toyota. Had one burn, one broke my leg, and the other never could fix the electrical problems with. And all on different vehicles. Never get another one again.
It would be great if you visualized when companies split off or merge in a sub-brand (or when companies merge). For example, around 2008/2009, Dodge suddenly starts dropping quickly, but not because Dodge's sales are dropping; rather, all Dodge trucks were re-branded as RAM, leaving only cars, SUVs, vans, and utility/industrial vehicles under the Dodge banner. I understand there's a lot of complexity to car company ownership and parent companies, but it would be nice to see the hard split/merges accounted for.
@@chriskarsseboom2200 Nope. If you look, RAM is counted separately. which is accurate, because we're talking about car *brands* not manufacturers. RAM trucks no longer carry the "Dodge" branding. Also, the parent company is most sensibly referred to as " Chrysler" which they would all have been counted under if we were talking about corporations rather than brands.
The wife got a 2007 Infiniti m35x and that thing is in great shape! The undercarriage, suspension components all still look fairly new. My Mexico built Dodge truck, while still looks good externally, everything underneath has rust.
Toyota: Ha, you cant beat me! I’m Efficient! Chevrolet: I can’t beat you, but he can. Ford: later losers Tesla: Give me another couple years, just wait.
You'll never be praised, celebrated, or remembered. But Oldsmobile; you were an amazing brand in the GM group. Innovation upon innovation. From the first mass produced car in 1902, rust resistant chrome, and the first smart dashboard screen. Much love.
Could we get one of these where the big three show their total numbers? GM stuff is so segmented that it doesn't give a clear picture. Love your content.
Jeremy Carter GM*. I honestly think If GM could look into the future and see what the car market is like today they totally would have kept Saturn and turned it into a hybrid/electric car brand. Too bad.
I watched a video on Saturn and from what I remember in the beginning they let Saturns management do it’s own thing and as more time went on the more GM got involved. It was really sad
Some customer, which wanted to buy a car, asked an BMW salesman why electric cars are so silent. In this case an BMW i3 she wanted to buy. The salesman was like:" it's because it's electric, it doesn't have an engine, just like a fan."
In 1985 Oldsmobile was the third most popular car brand in the US. Imagine if you could go back in time to that year and tell everyone at the Olds division of GM that the brand would be shut down in 14 years. They would all be like “Ha! Get a load of this guy. We’re the third best selling car in America, buddy!”
What are you smoking the US government bailed Ford out along with the rest of US auto Industry. if it wasnt for that, ford, GM, and Chrysler would all be defunct brands
Cody Cha a loan isn’t a bailout. Ford would’ve survived without that loan, GM and Chrysler would’ve collapsed without their bailouts. Tesla took out a loan at the same time, both companies used it for autonomous research.
Japanese are very good, but German? personally from owning a bmw, i can tell you they have some of the cheapest designs ever, now when it comes to the performance and driving experience German cars are great, but there quality is terrible compared to ford and Japanese cars ( minus Nissan).
@@jarlchicknugs5750 ya I've had 2 BMW's in general great cars fun to drive but they have so many weak points. Things that should last a million miles but they seem to purposely under engineer things, like timing chains, so that your lucky if they last 100 thousand km
I'm Your President I forgot about the Hornet. There was also the Rambler and the AMX and the Ambassador. I believe their motto was: If it’s butt ugly, it’s AMC.
RIP Oldsmobile and Pontiac. My Grandpa always bought one or the other. Now he has a Buick and he hates it. Oddly enough he won't switch to a different brand.
Honestly the reason why most of these luxury cars are at the bottom is because of price and location. I do agree that there should be a video about worldwide cars sales.
But then you would have to combine all of the other badges with their parent company, too. Like Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Chrysler would all be one, for example.
In America, the foreign brands that are widely considered the best quality are Toyota and Honda. Subaru as well, although it is not as widely known. Nissan is considered not as good. Korean cars are considered good budget cars, but their reputation has not caught up, yet. I feel like they are at the same point of reliability but lower price now that Japanese cars were in the 80's. German cars are considered overpriced, and not mechanically reliable. Italian and French cars are considered a bit eccentric and tiny, but some girls buy the Fiat 500 because it is cute.
Regarding American cars, people mostly buy American SUVs and trucks. Cadillac has a fairly good reputation, especially with black people and old white people. Jeep is an interesting badge, because people love Jeep even though they know it is not as mechanically reliable. Chrysler is generally considered to be less reliable and not as modern as Ford or Chevy, but it is also generally cheaper. In the countryside and small towns there is still a bit of a mentality of Ford loyalty versus Chevy loyalty, sort of like fans of two different sports teams, but this is diminished from what it used to be in previous generations. What rivalry still exists is mostly about pickup trucks, and this includes Ram.
Problem with Ford and Chevy is that the bulk of sales for both companies is represented by one single vehicle, their truck. If F-150 ceased to be, Ford would cease to be. That's precarious footing.
Ford did not take a bailout. GM has been malfunctioning for years should of been divided into competitve Chevy-Cadillac - Pontianc-Buick - Plymouth-Oldsmobile - Chrysler should of been reversed Dodge-Chrysler and Jeep-Hummer combined. Japanese and German manufactures survive and thrive on government assistance and protection in their home markets (following our model circa 1860s-1970s). To restore of predominance we only have to take the advice of our ancestors and make sure competition and quality are there by law.
I thought this video overlooked the whole conglomerate side of things (It can be hard to track over time) I search for a bit and it took me time that's why I'm sharing. Conglomerates ranked by market shares for 2018 : 1- Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda ,Seat ,Bugatti ,Lamborghini ,Bentley ,Porsche) 12.9% 2- Toyota Motor corporation (Toyota, Daijatsu, Lexus, Scion) 12.5% 3- Renault-Nissan Alliance (Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Dacia, Lada, Infinity, Datsun, Renault samsung, CMC, ZNA) 10.5% 4- GM (Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Holden, Ravon, Wuling, Baojun) 8.9% 5- Hyundai Group (Hyundai, Kia, Genesis) 8.9% 6 -Ford motor company (Ford, Lincoln) 6% 7- Honda motor group (Honda, Acura) 5.9% 8- F.C.A (Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Ferrari, Abarth, Iveco) 5.2% 9- PSA (Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Vauxhall, DS) 4% 10- Mercedes Daimler 3.2%
Hyundai-Kia group sells more vehicles in Europe than Toyota and Honda COMBINED. Hyundai-kia group is already world's 5th largest automaker. This is going to happen in USA in 15 years.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial it would be nice to see companies as a whole but i get why you did it this way. I guess being in the automotive industry im always keeping track of company not brand.
