Club Arnage

After the TVR / Vette story, i was just wondering which car firms are related to others, and who else uses each others bits.

Subaru are part of Kawasaki Heavy Industries if i remember correctly.

Skoda are owned my VW Group

A quick correction Robbo - Subaru are a part of Fuji Heavy Industries. At least that's what it says on the build plate under the bonnet of my car anyway.

Oops - I've now identified myself to all and sundry as a Subaru owner. For the benefit of Ron Jeremy it is not a WRX, I am not girlfriendless, and my right arm has not recently been rendered numb for the purposes of self gratification.

SEAT, Bugutti, VW, Bentley, Lambo, Audi are all part of the VAG group.

Ford own, amoust others, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin and part own VOLVO

Peugeot and Citron are the same group.

FIAT own Lancia, Alfa, and someone else.

Most shockingly Proton Own LOTUS. Probably gives some idea to the reliabilty. Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious.

Shame really, as they now own too many nice car firms.

Oh well.

It just occurred to me whilst reading this thread that the big 3 or 4 multinationals own or have a stake in just about everybody they've considered worthwhile, yet none of thm has ever wanted to buy Morgan.

Makes you think eh ;)

... and who have but days left to live...  Oh death, where is thy sting?

Post Script

Dodge Trucks were owned by Chrysler who also once owned the Roots Group. All Commers were later badged as Dodge. Chrysler sold the Dodge Trucks name to Renault, who therefore now own the rights to Commer.

You're slipping Steve - you missed Hummer off the GM list and Mercury off the Ford list. tut, tut.
