Should we really separate current and historic brands? I suggest that we move them together into the same list. -- Bjorn Elenfors
Having put them there, I have no real reason not to integrate them with the bigger list. I simply thought viewers might arrive with a nostalgic or present-day point of view. Whatever. An alternative might be simply to flag the historic brands with an asterisk. Possibly an html table with country of origin included would be nice. -- Coasting
The full list already contains historic brands, such as DKW. Since you ? I'll integrate them now. Another question is whether we should separate the corporations from the brand names? Like VAG owns Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Skoda and Porsche? -- Bjorn Elenfors
A possible layout would be:
- Big Corporation
- Major Brand Name
- Sub-brand (better term is required here)
- Major Brand Name
An example:
- VAG
- Volkswagen
- Audi
- Whatever
One interesting gap in the list is Chinese cars. I know they produce automobiles, but they are probably totally unknown outside China. -- Coasting
The head of states ride in "Red Flag brand" automobiles in China. The brand is a literal translation, I don't know its brand name known outside China. There are many other brands.
(Hard to believe no one's written about Chevrolet yet.)
