Interesting information, Dave! But the Chrysler, Ford and GM brand listings are apparently not completely up to date. Former Dodge Ram PUs are now just called Ram PUs.

Of course, I knew that.... just wanted to see if anyone was going to catch it.

Doesn't Porsche figure into the VW group? HPH

Is Chrysler still an indie?

I am not sure what % is owned by Fiat....and when they re-badge Jim's JEEP

Some side notes: Saab was purchased from GM by Victor Muller, who also owns Spyker. Muller saved Saab from the fate of Saturn and Hummer. I believe the two companies have some sort of corporate relationship.

Hummer was almost purchased by a Chinese company...twice. But both deals fell through due to regulatory issues and the last Hummer H3 rolled off the production line in Shreveport, LA on May 24th of this year.

Chrysler is owned by the UAW, Fiat, the U.S. government and the government of Canada.

Does Toyota owned part of Sabaru? Volvo was purchased by a Chinese company a week or so ago I believe.

Toyota has a controlling stake in Subaru, and the new Toyobaru coupe is rumored to be designed by Subaru and may sell under both brands.

Thats the reason Subaru has lost its quirky and fun design and is starting to head towards mainstream & bland

In case you want to add to the list, Lotus is owned by Proton of Malaysia.
