Subaru is not owned by Ford - GM have a 20% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent company.

Panoz isn't owned Ford, they simply use Ford's engines. It's owned by Don Panoz.

Not sure if Hyundai are partners with Kia - I was under the impression they were bitter rivals. GM either have or are negotiating to buy Kia (or controlling stake therein).

GM bought Nissan's 24.5% shareholding in 2000. Subaru have a resulting alliance with Suzuki, but there's never been any involvement with Ford.

You're quite right on Daewoo (what the hell was I thinking) and Kia, but I thought the Optima was the previous model 626?

[MazKid]

yea, I got it, you have a Z24, but still as a whole I think GM has some crappy cars...

 

[-Fred-]

shoot... doesn't work


you guys have time to spare...

 

[Sertsa]

vat's right. Check the other auto ownership thread. GM owns part of Fujitsu Heavy Ind, of which Suburu is a part.

Also, Chrysler's isn't so much a partner of Mercedes. It's closer to a subsidiary if anything. Chrysler's parent company is DaimerChrysler. And if you look at the company's structure, the pre-merger Daimler-Benz people are well in control.

Oh, and let's not forget Renault owns a big chunk of Nissan.

Tickford is owned by Pro-Drive (as in Dave Richards and WRC Subarus) - the Australian Tickford is a joint venture between Tickford and Ford Australia.

Hyundai and Kia are partners (Optima = Sonata, and a few others including a co-developed concept minivan that....never came to America). GM is negotiaiting to buy Daewoo, and I'm very sure that it has already completed that deal.

Ah - having done some research - Australia is a model behind on the Optima - the version we have here is based on the previous 626....

 

[MazKid]

based on the Mazda 626? That's odd...

Yeah - the previous one.

Proton, the Malaysian manufacturer, have their small model, the Satria, which is just a rebadged Lancer from the early 90's.

Musso is pretty ancient.
Daewoo in the US are planning to release the Korando, but with legal disputes with Daimler-Chrysler and losing a lot of money (planning to cut off distribution in US), it will not come out as planned.

Actually M5 that U100 is called Rezzo in Europe and Korea. and it a "sport-wagon" not a minivan. A sportwagon? Doesn't look sporty to me.......what the heck!

Audi isn't 0wn3d by Volkswagen. They're both in fact 0wn3d by VAG.. Volkswagen Audi Group

One point that occurs to me:

Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti, I wouldn't say, are owned by their parent companies. I'm not exactly sure on this, but I believe that they are simply divisions of the parent companies, and not sepereate entities, as they were always a part of those parent companies, unlike some other companies which were once independent and were bought by larger manufacturers.

From a business standpoint, are they officially seperate entities? For example, can you buy stock in Acura motor corp? Or would it be, as I'm guessing, part of a share in Honda Motor Corp?
