Car manufacturers family tree

[TT]

Could be interesting to have it in a family tree format if you could do it ;)

I don't think it's complete :D
Ferrari to Fiat
Lambo, Bentley & Bugatti to VW
Rolls to BMW & so on

Go to www.speedycars.net and you'll have a list of what manufacturer belongs to which company :D

It's quite difficult to do this as Lambo belongs to Audi and Audi to VW. And that's only one example :(

That site has Mitsubishi as not bieng owned by Chrysler.

^ as I know, mitsu was never really owned by chrysler, only had +- 30% of the company's shares, and some months ago chrysler decided to sell their mitsu's part
of course I could be wrong

very confusing. i have a book that lists all the manufactureers and their divisions. but its a year old.

the whole deal with partial ownership makes this concept quite a bit more difficult to execute. I'd still like to see something tho, pretty good idea

[gobs3z]

I thought VW owned Porsche, or is it that they share technology?(Cayenne/Toureg)

from what i understood Chrylser only decided not to invest anymore money into Mitsu, not take out their share, because i know alot of vehicles are going to be coming out. Maybe its like VW and Porsche where they just share certain technologies.
