Who Owns You?

Once again, I'm playing the who owns/makes you game with brands and companies. This time it's cars.

Ford Owns:
Ford
Lincoln
Mercury
Mazda
Volvo
Jaguar
Land Rover
Aston Martin

GM Owns:
GMC
Buick
Cadillac
Chevrolet
HUMMER
Oldsmoble
Pontiac
Saturn
Saab
Holden
Opel
Vauxhall

DaimlerChrysler Owns:
(Mercedes Car Group)
Maybach
Mercedes-Benz
Smart
(Chrysler Group)
Dodge
Chrysler
Jeep
(Commerical Vehicles Division)
Mercedes-Benz
Freightliner
Fuso(through an alliance with Mitsubishi)
Sterling Truck
Western Star Trucks
Setra
Thomas
Orion

There are a lot of other car makers and brands out there, so I might look at hose later. There may be more brands from these conglomerates in other countries because I checked the US sites mostly. One interesting thing about DaimlerChrysler and Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi has been struggling with debt for years and DaimlerChrylser bought 37% market share in the company and had plans to aquire Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi stacked up more debt though, and instead DaimlerChrysler is looking for a buyer for it's stock.

Another interesting thing. Smart, one of DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes Car Group brands is kind of interesting, if not weird. There are already selling in Europe since 2004.

Edit: 2:49 pm And now Volkswagen AG
Audi
Bentley
Bugatti
Lamborghini
SEAT
Škoda
Volkswagen
