They sold Aston Martin this year to a Middle eastern car parts company. -Daimler Chrysler owns Dodge, Mercedes, Chrysler, Jeep, Smart, Plymouth, and Mitsubishi. Chyrlser and Mercedes joined either in the 90's or the early 2000's. -Mazda owns itself, but Ford owns a small percentage of Mazda so they can use some of their parts and designs. -Honda makes Acura -Toyota makes Lexus and Scion. -Volkswagen owns and makes Audi, Bently, Skoda, Seat, Lamborghini, Spyker, Bugatti, and they work with Porsche. -Porsche is their own company working together with VW. Porsche is buying VW and already owns about 45% of VW. VW bought Bently and Lamborghini recently and the Lamborghini Gallardo and Bently Continental Gt was designed after VW bought the two companies. -Nissan makes Infiniti and Renault. nissan owns some of Citroen. -Fiat owns Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and Maserati. Maserati was bought around 4 years ago. -BMW bought MINI and RollsRoyce. They bought Mini when they decides they wanted to redesign the car which was about a year before the current Mini Cooper came back. -Subaru owns itself, but Toyota owns a small percentage of Subaru. -Hyundai owns Kia.
