List of car brands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an incomplete list of auto brands, by country of origin. Some are from manufacturing companies that also use their company name as a brand name; others are from subsidiary companies or divisions, or are products of rebadgeing. This is not a list of every brand that is available for sale in each country, but a list of companies that originated or have a significant independent presence in each country; this typically means manufacturing in that country and often exporting from that country, not just selling cars there.
