Talk:List of top automotive manufacturing groups
Full List Here
editShouldn't the Full list of Vehicle manufacturers from the OICA list be in this article and the list in Automotive industry be Top 20 just for a glance, to keep that article about the overall industry, brief sections about the industry in each country, current company relationships, joint ventures, and current and past industry woes. --Viddea9 (talk). 04:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
Idea for this article
editRather than maintaining this article as an almost exact duplicate of the section in the automotive industry article from which it was copied, I have a suggestion to transform it into a more useful and complimentary article. How about renaming it to something like "List of current automotive marques", and maintaining a table of active marques or brands? The table could have sortable columns with the headings something like: "Marque", "Country of Origin", <Vehicle types>, "Marque owner", "Parent company", "Group", "Markets". Now that would make an interesting article, especially being sortable on any column.
Example:
Marque | Country of Origin | Sedans | SUVs | Trucks | Marque owner | Parent company | Group | Main markets |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BMW | BMW AG | BMW AG | Global | |||||
MINI | BMW | BMW AG | Global | |||||
Rolls-Royce | Rolls-Royce Motor Cars | BMW AG | Global | |||||
Ford | Ford Motor Company | Ford Motor Company | Global | |||||
Volvo (cars) | Volvo Cars | Ford Motor Company | Global | |||||
Renault (trucks) | Renault Trucks | AB Volvo | Global | |||||
Renault (cars) | Renault | Renault S.A. | Global | |||||
Volvo (trucks) | AB Volvo | AB Volvo | Global | |||||
Porsche | Porsche AG | Porsche Automobil Holding SE | Global | |||||
Audi | Audi AG | Volkswagen AG | Porsche Automobil Holding SE | Global |

- Or, how about merging this article back into Automotive industry and deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.143.201 (talk) 14:08, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
