Surely the rules have been changed on that-- Companies do this all the time.Originally posted by hockey81289@Nov 26 2003, 07:12 PM
wait one minute i may sound stupid but i think that gm owning part of subaru is illegal
why because of all the antitrust and anti-monopoly acts of hte early 1900s i remember form history class that one (sherman or clayton atitrust act?) of them outlawed a company owning stock in another company in the same industry
this may have been changed since then or may not be valid for foreign companies but i jus thought i'd mention it
No... Not illegal. It's done all the time.Originally posted by hockey81289@Nov 26 2003, 08:12 PM

Here are the Top 5 Car Manufacturers and the brands that fall under their respective umbrellas. I might have missed a few of the "smaller" companies...Originally posted by Rex Raider@Nov 26 2003, 10:14 PM
That has changed.
Ford owns Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Jaguar, Volvo, Aston Martin and Land Rover
Apart from the obvious (pont, buick, chev, olds, etc...) and foreign brands (Opel, Holden) GM owns Daewoo, part of Isuzu and Subaru, and has trade deals with Suzuki
Daimler Chrysler owns part of Mitsubishi
BMW owns Mini and Rolls Royce
Volkwagen-Audi owns Bentley, and has trade deals with Porsche
Ferrari owns Fiat (or Vice Versa)
and many more...

VW owns Lambo, too, right?
I've got a few problems with this list. Chief among them is that GM owns NONE of Honda. And I have a problem with calling 10% or 20% ownership "owning" the company, but that one is my problem, I guess.Originally posted by mgescuro@Nov 26 2003, 11:23 PM

I was under the impression that GM took a small percentage of Honda 2-5%. But GM has no say/control in Honda operations.
GM has 20-25% in Fuji Heavy, which, I believe, under Japanese law, gives GM significant control, but not full control of the company.
GM owns something like 37+% of Isuzu. Which, under Japanese law gives GM control of the board, if I am not mistaken. (You don't need to own >50% to control a company.)
GM owns 100% of Saab and 20% of Fiat... and eventually 100% of Fiat (Fiat, Alfa, Lancia) down the road.
Ford, I think has 50% of Mazda. Someone correct me. And 100% of Jag, Volvo, and Rover.
:blink: Samsung makes cars? I thought Apple Computers had a 15% stake in Samsung.
Anyways... about 2-3 years ago, there was an issue of R&T that mapped out the entire auto industry. it was one of those big fold-out sections. ANyone have a copy of it? I did at one point in time, but can't find it.
