You wouldn’t upload a car… chart, would you?

I love how those ads did more to promot piracy among normies than most anything else.

I wasn’t aware of the fact that Suzuki outsells Mazda. How long has that been happening?

It’s a popular brand in Asia. Mitsubishi as well.

Wait, did I read that right? Less than 1,000 units?

Dude every other freakin car out here is a subaru so it's funny to me that they don't sell like hotcakes elsewhere

A day doesn't go by that I don't see at least two or three gangs of Subarus driving down the road.

But, then again, I also see a few different Cybertrucks on the regular so my market is probably an odd one.

Mercedes bar is longer then BMW despite having smaller value. Did they try to visually balance the smaller width? How do you fuck up a bar graph?

I think that's what the dotted line is for, the scale changed so it's easier to see the scale of each of the brands on the lower half, compared to each other.

Where is General Motors? I don't think this chart is super accurate.

Chevrolet is in the list. Looks like it's by brand, hence the reason that Audi is also broken out from Volkswagon.

Why is Jeep listed as an American brand when they're owned by a company from the Netherlands?

3

because we are talking about the brand not the company. the brand is certainly American.

Huh interesting. Apparently it's a french-italian-american company with it's hq in the netherlands for tax benefits I'm guessing. So.. I guess the flag sorta checks out?

1

Yeah, the flags mean very little. Ford of Europe, founded in Ireland and head-quartered in Germany, probably makes up a significant chunk of Ford sales as well. They don't produce the same cars at all though - German Fords are very much not American cars.

Which might be why Ford has stood the test of time so much better than GM.

well, if this infographic is to be believed sales numbers less than 1.3 million, just like Caddilac, Buick, GMC, Dodge, Acura, Lexus...

Why surprised? Tesla Model Y is the best selling vehicle in the world.

probably my own bias only because I live in a part of the world that a Tesla is nearly never seen and every other vehicle that drives by my hosue is a Jeep. Thanks for helping me recognize.
