*UPDATE* So it looks like RU-vid decided to start suggesting this older video of mine to a lot of people so I thought I'd address the following: This is an older video, in fact one of my first videos. I didn't bother looking up proper pronounciation, and was doing it for fun. So please be nice :). My newer videos are much better I promise :) Make sure to follow me on social media for updates, links below Instagram: instagram.com/vehiclevirals/ Twitter: twitter.com/VehicleVirals?s=08
Fun fact, Ford was also going to own Ferrari but Ferrari backed out last second. Thus Ford specifically poured tons of money and time into developing the ford gt just to beat ferarri at the 24 hours of Le Mons, which they were wildly successful at doing. All just to rub it into Ferrari's face for backing out of a deal.
BMW in German is *Bavarian* motor works not “barbarian motor works” that’s why the blue and white is integrated into the logo, as that’s the colour scheme of the flag for the German region of Bavaria
fun fact: Abarth isn't an automaker, it's FIAT's racing division, as Nismo was for Nissan and AMG is for Mercedes-Benz fun fact 2: Ferrari isn't independent, it's on independent management, but it is still part of FIAT fun fact 3: since we're talking about trucks and bikes aswell, FIAT owns Iveco (that makes heavy vehicles for civilian and military uses); owns New Holland, Case IH and Steyr (they make agricultural machinery).
I drove Punto from 10 year is going to be next month car done successfully 389,989 kms on odo and car is lovingly superb never give problem Fiat is awesome But suzuki sucks worst brand ever own in my entire car owning life worst brand worst products unreliable in my case my swift done only 89087 kms on odo and car engine blew off and i done service on time spend everything car needs to be replace worst service worst brand worst cars i never own suzuki again Even my Uncle owns a Fiat Palio 2003 done 390,976kms on odo but still runs awesome but his suzuki vitara sucks done 108,217.

Nick Cola depends on what makes you the biggest car brand.. Toyota produces more cars, but Vw is a bigger company in terms of employees and bastically everything else
Volkswagen: shuts down Lamborghini: crap Bugatti: Lambo DO SOMETHING Audi: finally see ya never Porsche: so... back to sport cars? Lamborghini: of course u stupid Ford: hey Lamborghini... Lamborghini: NO!

@@tarikrizvanovic2343 Exor has about a ~29% stake in the company, they dont own fca and they aren't Fiat's parent company, they're just an Italian investment group. By that logic Warren Buffet owns coca-cola lmao.
@@Apollyon07 But Exor is the Agnelli family, not jus any investment group. They may only hold only 29% of shares, but 42% of shares with voting rights. This is enough to dominate the company.
Fiat control even a lot of more vehicle companies... for example IVECO and New Holland. Ferrari and FCA (Fiat Chrysler) are both owned by the Exor group that belong to the Agnelli family that founded Fiat in 1899
The way you pronounce these automakers in cringeworthy Seat = seh aht Chevrolet = the T is silent Daimler = dime-ler Renault = reh noh (and others I can't remember)
Didn't Ford and Mazda have a relationship at one point. Mazda should be know as the worst auto marketing company because they have great cars but most don't even think of Mazda when looking for a car. That's sad.
Yeah they had ties for sure. I believe Ford owned around 30 percent of Mazda at one point before selling like 20 percent. Then shortly after they went their seperate way. I agree with you it seems like Mazda doesn't get much attention nowadays. Marketing doesn't seem strong at all.
I like the mazda rx8. Looks great performance is alright. But to be ohnest its really unique. Looking. And mazda actually is pretty good. Not the best though.
@@zandaughtry7936 more like Chrysler powered and the laser/eclipse is the second generation motor originally from the Chrysler Conquest/Starion(hope I spelled that right).
Even if you believe that, on a consumer level Mitsubishi still used Chrysler's motor along with the entire 1G's body. There'd be no eclipse without Chrysler, Chrysler got out ironically around the same time the last good Eclipse came out, the 99gst. I remember the first "more powerful" 240hp 2000 Eclipse a raced, it was sooo sad. They've been a shitty joke e ever since.
This is about the most interesting video comments I have read which mostly talked about the mispronunciation of the different names of cars. However the video contains lots of information about the ownership of the various brands of cars some of which are surprised to me. Like Volkswagen owns Lamborghini Bentley and Bugatti; Fiat owns Ferrari Chrysler Jeep; BMW owns rolls Royce. Well done V Virals
Very nice video. The only thing is that 1. Daimler is pronounced “dime- ler” not “dame- ler” (in German) 2. Maybach is pronounced “my- back or my-bach” not “may-back” 3. Abarth is pronounced “uh- bart” (like apart with a d instead of a p not “a-bath” 4. Fiat is pronounced “fee-aht” not fee-at” 5. Mercury is pronounced “merk-yur-ee” not “merk-er-ee” 6. Chevrolet is pronounced “chev-roe-lay” not “chev-roe-lett” 7. Renault is pronounced “rehn-O” not “rehn-aht” 8. Tata (motors) is pronounced “tah-tah” not “tadah” or “tayda” 9. Tesla is pronounced “tess-luh” not “tez-luh”
funny how someone complaining about pronounciation is actually teaching at least one wrongly xD Abarth is pronounced more or less exactly as it is written, but with an emphasis on the second 'A' and drawn out 'th' sound...but it isn't Abrath like he did lol
Michael Kenis ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2xBRYW3PTWc.html I will admit that I should have said ah-bart not uh-bart, but I am not wrong
Dude you are like a 1m sub RU-vidr I can’t believe you don’t have a lot of subs but you are one of the best Car RU-vidrs like your doing good bro keep it up bro
@Blob lol I drive 2016 ford focus ST German made version. And yes I had a bmw and I know a guy who loves BMW's and he also claims that bmw is unreliable oil loosing piece of garbage. P.s - I don't drive super expensive cars because i dont see reason why
@Blob uh your parents and your uncle have it not you. Calling someone poor on internet to heighten selfishness. Ford is pretty reliable car. Maybe not American ones.
Chill dude We respect and admire all the beautiful automotive makes Doesn't matter where the company originated The design, engineering, beauty and passion are all that matters
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg indeed, for the connoisseurs among us, we remain silent about the time where it was naught but a trim level on fiats, only remembering the pre-fiat era and the recent era xD
Honda/Acura says otherwise. But yeah, lot of carcompanies can't hold up by themselves and can't beat the competition so they buy out others. In their world, quantity beats quality.
I never knew Mitsubishi made other things than cars until I saw a Mitsubishi air conditioning unit being used at an expensive hotel in Florida. My mind was blown to pieces that day. Also, didn’t know that!
FCA owns more auto patents than anyone else. First electric lights, first unibody (Lancia) and hundreds more. What annoys me is that FCA should have folded FIAT, Lancia. And Alfa Romeo into CJD dealerships. They have dominated the auto industry on 6 continents in Motorsport in everything from NASCAR to F1. The fit would have been fantastic. Otherwise, Sergio Marchionne was right on with his leadership decisions before his announced retirement and untimely death.
that's why they're called Fiat Chrysler? and it's been known for a while that Chrysler and Dodge are basically 1 in the same.... That's why the Neon was sold under both of them..... and Plymouth which didn't even get mentioned
Great video. You did great job on your research and presentation.....sorta. As a person with over 25 years in the lecture field my advice is research pronunciations. You have a very good format and likability. I hope to see your channel grow.

tbh man, the JagUar/Jagwar thing is subjective to where your from, here in NZ we call them JagUar but in the states its Jagwar.. sounds fucked to me but I know what they mean
Some of the brands mentioned here, I have driven before. My Dad was an engineer and bought a lot of second-hand cars, so here's a list of some of the vehicles that got me through high school and college in USA. (This is pretty long, so if you don't like it I won't do this again.) -Fiat 128 It looks like a top-hat with wheels. 4-speed manual. -AMC "Sportabout" wagon. I took off from a light and accidentally punched the brake pedal after being used to having a clutch. I broke the front right wheel strut and the wheel dragged on the wheel housing for a mile before I got home. A guy passed me in the right lane, heard the noise, and looked. That blank stare was hilarious! -Fiat "Strada" (made in 1979?) This car was left-hand drive, but the ignition keyhole was also on the left of the steering column. You could stand outside the driver's door and see the keyhole. You had to turn the key back toward you to start it. 5-speed manual. Torque steer was so bad that you could straight-arm the steering wheel and change lanes using only the gas pedal if you practiced a few times. -Volkswagen T2. Flat-4, air-cooled, 4-speed manual. It was fun to gently fish-tail this thing on gravel roads. One time my cousin and I were hungry in a "bad" neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The middle seat was taken out and we locked it up tight and opened the crank-operated sunroof and enjoyed our Little Caesar's Pizza, sitting inside in safety. Subaru GL 4-door sedan. Flat-4 and 5-speed manual. Great, reliable car. NOW FOR THE FUN: Before the Subaru was Volkswagen "Rabbit" diesel, with 230k miles on it. The rubber engine mount grommets had hardened and that thing could basically shake the fillings out of your teeth. I'm surprised it didn't shake the paint off. Passengers said they thought they were in an airplane. With the engine idling, standing outside the car with the driver's door open was so noisy with the dash shaking that you couldn't hear the engine. Close the door and then it's nice and quiet with just the engine. Front wheel drive, but the hand-brake was the back wheels. That was FUN after a snow. I would take joy rides of university classmates in the mostly empty parking area. One time I spun around a corner and flew into reverse and turned another corner and then perfectly parked in a parallel space. Everyone in the car was clapping. Turn the air conditioner off to get more power on hills, etc. The air conditioner drain hose kept clogging and the passenger foot-well would fill up with water. Easy to find your car, because it's the only one in the lot with steamed up windows. That moisture caused the headliner to become detached from the ceiling and sag down and I couldn't see out the rear-view mirror. I would reach back and "stick it back up again", and that didn't last long. These vehicles were crap, except for the T2, but the memories are priceless. I moved to Taiwan in 1996 and now I drive a "gogoro S1" motorcycle (electric). I think there's kind-of an improvement here. Love your videos, Christian!
Tata nano was actually a success, it didn't have too much success because of the competitor maruti swift. But since tata acquired jaguar and Land Rover. Land Rover and jag became a lot famous in India. Especially Land Rover since it's a SUV that is comfortable for families
CORRECTION: Dodge is not owned by Fiat, Dodge is owned by FCA US (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US). I'll explain it: Fiat and Chrysler were both dying, so they both united and created FCA, so yeah, FCA is an Italian-American company, owned by Mr. John Elkann (Born in April 1st, 1976, New York, New York, USA). FCA headquarters is located at Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. But nevertheless, under FCA there's 2 branches: the FCA US branch, and the FCA Italy branch. FCA US is headquartered in Auburn Hills, and owns all the American brands like Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep etc,. In the other hand, we have FCA Italy, headquartered in Turin, Italy. FCA Italy owns the Italian brands like Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Maserati etc. So there we have it, FCA is an Italian-American company. Regardless of the fact, that ''FCA'' contains the word ''Fiat'' on it, it doesn't mean that all the brands are made by Fiat, it's like saying Maserati is made by Chrysler. So there you have it, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Fiat, Maserati etc, are all under Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

Wtf?! Lamborghini and bugatti was under the company of volkswagen?! Wtf what is the reason why they competing in the world?😂just saying but it was very knowlegable
If you realize, parts such as headlamps are similar, the Veryon has the same front lights used on the Arteon their just different shapes but same technology.
@@lucas_2612 No. The Veyron does not have similar lights as the Arteon. They're completely different, sure they're made by VW group but they're different and the healldlamps for the Veyron cost £18k
ask him to pronounce pugeot. lol i like this guy.. i am a life long car guy. i love odd and end facts, inside the car world. been a car guy for 20+ years, my favorite genre is old school rally, like the fiat 131 abarth, 110 renault alpine, lancia stratos, ect... ( love group b). cut him a little slack, i'm fairly sure he's new to anything that isn't american, japanese, or itlaian (of the ferrari, lamborghini, or pagaini) in descent. he'll learn bro. takes a lot of time we are all car guys here we didn't learn in one day/month/year/decade. it's a life choice to be a car guy/girl. you just keep learning to love and teach all that you know.
I don't understand why Americans have to learn the right prononciation. Here in Europe everyone just say it right from childhood (except the Japanese brands)
Peterbilt and Kenworth are owned by the American company Paccar. Its subsidiaries are the British lorry/bus company Leyland Trucks, and the Dutch commercial vehicle company DAF.
New subscriber. Thanks for all that info, it's very clear and to the point and, not to make fun of you, but SEAT is pronounced like SAY-OT not like the chair💺 😂 but very well done 👍
Lol. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel. Thanks for being cool about it as well. The trolls have been out at full force lately taking shots at me lol
Well, I have two Mercedes (2005 C220 and 2007 E420), both made by Mercedes and a 1984 BMW 635CSI project car I'm restoring - made by BMW. My cars were made by their manufacturers in Germany with absolute German precision and no humor. Simple as that.
Fiat doesn’t own Chrysler per-say they do own all the stocks but they dont own them like a subsidiary the two companies were merge into one auto maker and there now called Fiat Chrysler Automobiles they are the eighth larget auto manufacturers in the world
I enjoy4ed it. I watch4ed to the end. however, I thought it was kinda unprofessional, until I read that it was one of your first, and then I checked out your channel. Not bad for a first video. they got much better. good job.
Thunder Kunt please come to India and watch the price and the products they have launched in recent times. Indians always consider the cars that are value for money and at the same time trust the brand in which they are investing. If you are only interested in shit please purchase shit from other manufacturers but don’t speak shit without seeing any thing...
@Thunder Kunt dude don't be a asshole actually you need to be thankful, just...just watch this from ABC news👉👉m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IofoB9wyq7Q.html
Not trying to sound negative or bash on your hype but working at Nissan anything from 2006 and newer I would stay clear away from because they're going way down on quality and making their cars cheap and over charging them. They're starting to become horrible cars and the only exception is the gt-r because that's their baby but isn't 100% owned with Nissan
In Romania, the country I was born in, we have a lot of Dacias. Also Renault, Volkswagen, BMW, Peugeot, Citroen, Land Rover, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, SsangYong, Daewoo, Geely, Great Wall Motors, Chery, Audi, Skoda, and others.
Thinking of buying it as my first bike because I don't really need something faster, and I also want something fun to mod it and make some motovlogs. Who knows
@@noname-sk6zk ya. Almost forgot about Bugatti... since they suck so much. Jk, but i seeiously dont like how they brag and immediately get shown up by every other supercar manufacturer either on the track or in a straight line. Step up or shut up Bugatti
How did you forget Peugeot? The oldest continuing car company on the planet. Owns Citroen and now Opel. Also the marque which has the most varied tally of car race victories....period.
www.consumerreports.org/cars-who-owns-which-car-brands/ That goes for you as well get your facts right Bentley is owned by Volkswagen according to Consumer Reports now you're right about Land Rover therefore you have half the facts just like he does, consider you both even
I have watched so many vehicle reviews on RU-vid and this guy has one of the very best channels in. I have been telling everyone I know to check him out. I recommended you do the same! Hopefully he will be doing merch soon!
