Shouldn'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)Reply

Idea for this article

edit

Rather 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    Y  Y  N BMW AG   BMW AG Global
MINI    Y  N  N BMW   BMW AG Global
Rolls-Royce    Y  N  N Rolls-Royce Motor Cars   BMW AG Global
Ford    Y  Y  N Ford Motor Company   Ford Motor Company Global
Volvo (cars)    Y  Y  N Volvo Cars   Ford Motor Company Global
Renault (trucks)    N  N  Y Renault Trucks   AB Volvo Global
Renault (cars)    Y  N  N Renault   Renault S.A. Global
Volvo (trucks)    N  N  Y AB Volvo   AB Volvo Global
Porsche    Y  Y  N Porsche AG   Porsche Automobil Holding SE Global
Audi    Y  Y  N 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)Reply
