  1. Apart from Toyota which is a mammoth company, only Suzuki and Isuzu have grown in this time interval. It’s a bit of a shame, because Japanese car brands make very good cars and have very interesting engineering solutions for their vehicles. Mazda for example make very good quality cars, and I feel that they deserve a larger market cap.

    What the hell happened to Subaru? Not that i mind, i tend to drive 10-15 yr old Foresters, great carpenter/handyman car, maybe they’ll be cheaper to buy in the next few years…

    It’s a shame they are going to be hammered by Chinese electric cars. Toyota could be so far ahead if they hadn’t developed a mad fixation on hydrogen cars.

    Damn, I knew Mazda and Nissan were struggling, but these numbers really put it in perspective.

    It would be a shame if all those smaller automakers disappear.

  5. You didn’t label the intervals or the total value of the non toyota companies. Which makes it a bit harder to interpret, but apparantly the horizontal lines represent 20B.

    How has Honda shrunk? In that time, the Civic has been the #1 selling vehicle in the US quite a few quarters (I remember ~2010 when it was big news it dethroned the F-150 that had held that spot for decades). A Honda isn’t flashy, but their basic models are some of the most reliable on the road, so they sell a lot. (Like I’m willing to pay a few thousand extra for less maintenance.)

    When I was looking at a car a few years back, my top two options were the Toyota Camry & Honda Accord as I want something that will last a decade plus with just oil changes, & basic wear maintenance (replacing tires, brakes, etc. when they wear out).

    I would go for a Honda every day. Drove Toyota before but they can absolutely not compete with Honda imo
