As an American, I 100% guarantee that at least 50% of those Ford and Chevy sales are pickup trucks lol.
Of course. The cars are garbage
I myself as a ford guy got to say trucks are the only thing there good at. Because their cars are crap.
Or trucker girls that will never use their truck bed once
Lmao! Y’all do know eventually ford will stop making SUVs and Trucks and just make mustangs and GTs right!? Lol
@@TopGsBugatti how will we leave our houses without getting run over
it's crazy, seeing the date where the gas crisis hit and all these japanese/foreign manufacturers launch in popularity
Truck sales tanked
@@latinace1981 yeah because aero on those things is like you're driving a wall
Isaiah Wallace I get what you’re saying about other countries manufacturers gaining popularity, except for Japan. Japan has been in the top for a while
Japan's rise also coincided with the decline of U.S. automobile quality during the 70's and 80's. This created a perfect storm for the Japanese to come in and grab large parts of the market. Once people experienced overall reliability of the Japanese product, they were less inclined to purchase a U.S. auto product going forward. I for one fall exactly in that camp.
@@kevin7151 Well yeah, but that along with the overall large population of the US results in America having one of the world's largest Japanese/import scene, which is a good thing
Fast and furious really revved up Japan sales 😂
Quality
@Kashif u say 1 car, buy a Toyota, Honda, Subaru n toldme
@Kashif Suzuki mehran is not jaoanese it's pakistani manufactured idiot
@@danishzehen1371 it's Japanese, but from the early 80s lol

Poor Plymouth. Rest in peace. 😭
1929-2001
I did not know , Plymouth end the activities in 2001?
And poor Pontiac. It was somewhat controversial to end that badge, but that's what was decided during the government bailout. Hummer, also.
@@Alsayid No one liked Hummers
@@Randze Not true. Hummers had a devoted following, and if the badge had been kept would be going gangbusters today. Some of the enviro-weenies didn't like Hummer, which is why when the government took over GM was forced to close it.
@@Alsayid I mean not changing my mind or anything but I did find interest in the Hummer H1 and the other humvees. But the h2 and h3 was a complete flop with plastic everywhere and its bizarre styling. Most people didn't really care about the environment but the gas prices and an MPG of a tank. Its just completely useless to buy one
*Do it worldwide*
Toyota
Toyota - very long bar
Ford - small bar
All others - tiny bars almost invisible
@@AlterSchwedeWieGeil there we're years VW selling more units than Toyota 😉
1- Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda ,Seat ,Bugatti ,Lamborghini ,Bentley ,Porsche) 12.9%
2- Toyota Motor corporation (Toyota, Daijatsu, Lexus, Scion) 12.5%
3- Renault-Nissan Alliance (Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Dacia, Lada, Infinity, Datsun, Renault samsung, CMC, ZNA) 10.5%

9- PSA (Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Vauxhall, DS) 4%
10- Mercedes Daimler 3.2%
TOYOTA
Toyota's like: "This ain't over yet..."
German cars are popular everywhere except in the US
Probably because most german cars aren't made with the US market in mind, and the few models that suit the US market are probably more expensive than the US and Japanese offerings.
German car parts are super expensive.
Nah thats in Europe only
Here in Mexico, VW is definitely a top 5 brand.
because they also have a strong car lobby
Tesla is coming, but you can’t hear because it’s electric :)
WhiteBirdPlays nope 👎 toyota and other manufacturers says hold my beer with hydrogen and EV
Le Chat Botté Explain?
Le Chat Botté just admit it Tesla the future not some old ass combustion engine company lol their ev look like shit
Le Chat Botté haha do you actually think hydrogen is viable ?
@@bbwon What do you mean explain? Do you think the big companies are just going to sit around? Most are already testing fully electric vehicles, and when they come out, they will be better then Tesla. Rivian will probably eventually overtake Tesla in quality, plus they have a partnership with Ford, so they won't have to worry about funding.
I'd say it's no coincidence that Jeep sales rise after the release of Jurassic Park.
good observation.
That, and the release of the new four door wrangler that you always see spoiled high school chicks driving. You know, the ones that are white with the hard-top, and never have a speck of mud on them
Jeep Grand Cherokee was also introduced that same year
Subaru's performance in the USA is impressive. Such high sale numbers for such a little company.
1985: Beginning of RIP Olds & Pontiac
My two favorite cars. Still have my 1987 Oldsmobile 442.
2:28
Pontiac went 6 feet deep...
*R I.P.* 🥀🚘🥀
I still have a pontiac
I say this as an American: Japan makes the best cars. My family has been buying cars exclusively from Toyota's brands (Toyota & Lexus) for over 15 years. Two of the cars we have are from 2007 and still run very well. My uncle also owns a 2002 Honda S2000 convertible, and it looks like it was made 5 years ago.
Yea I love Japanese cars too.
They have the best quality of the engine. That’s what they put an effort to.
Everything from the Japanese is good
@@epiclolly Yee
My parents were diehard GM owners for years... until they got fed up with all the repairs and problems.
Now they’ve had nothing but Honda and Toyota ever since, and have never looked back. I’ve enjoyed mine as well.
@@DavidWonn 👍👍👍
I love how there's country style instrumental while the American car brands are dominating.
Of course they are dominating this only in the US
@@MoeBerak No they're not. American vehicles and trucks are popular throughout North America.
@@andreiplane8380 In Europe and Asia are German and Asian cars on the top. US cars are really unpopular here.
@@odin5782 I was never talking about Europe or Asia...
@@andreiplane8380 yea but the half of North America are the United States.
You can clearly see the effect of government bailout around 2009.
Ford didn't get bailed out, though
@@runnethdown No, it did get government bailout. Ford was not in danger of bankruptcy like the other two, but it received bailout money from another program anyway.

puppy droolsalot yes, so interesting that foreign automakers didn’t get a US bailout...
@@edwardyang8254 TIL, I stand corrected
puppy droolsalot well the US economy crashed lol what do you expect
The 600k Subaru’s comes from Oregon.
Vgoran and Washington
But I don’t see them as much when I get to Vancouver, or even deeper into the state
I’ve lived in Colorado for 16 years and there is a lot of Subaru’s there too.
They sell well wherever it snows a lot. Subaru's sell well in the Northeast, and do pretty well in Canada too
Why Subaru is popular in Oregon?
You'll never be praised, celebrated, or remembered. But Oldsmobile; you were an amazing brand in the GM group. Innovation upon innovation. From the first mass produced car in 1902, rust resistant chrome, and the first smart dashboard screen. Much love.
Love the channel BTW
Don’t forget that Lexus is Toyota and
Acura is Honda.
Really? Didnt know that Acura is Honda
@@SAL-do2ep volkswagen also owns bentley, bugatti, lamborghini, audi, and porsche

I'm not sure but I believe Mercedes is the only car brand that just consists of Mercedes themselves.
BMW has Mini and Landrover if I remember.
Anyone else watch your favorite brand and say oh that's when the released this car every time the numbers changed
Jamie Nielson yeah kind of but I was focusing on Jeep and Hyundai so it made it a little bit more difficult
Congrats! Amazing video!!!
Your Data is Really Beautiful ....
Sad to watch amc slowly fade off the list.
Pontiac too
2007 **exists**
Pontiac: Aight imma head out
This is fun to watch the battle of sales in action.
Considering Jeep only makes SUVs, that's super impressive.
Proud owner of a Toyota Land Cruiser, 4Runner, and Camry. Toyota's are the best vehicles made by man!
I think you have never driven a Tesla
I had a Toyota land cruiser for 9 years before getting a lexus LX 500. Toyota is an amazing manufacturer
Proud to never own or drive another Toyota. Had one burn, one broke my leg, and the other never could fix the electrical problems with. And all on different vehicles. Never get another one again.
It would be great if you visualized when companies split off or merge in a sub-brand (or when companies merge). For example, around 2008/2009, Dodge suddenly starts dropping quickly, but not because Dodge's sales are dropping; rather, all Dodge trucks were re-branded as RAM, leaving only cars, SUVs, vans, and utility/industrial vehicles under the Dodge banner. I understand there's a lot of complexity to car company ownership and parent companies, but it would be nice to see the hard split/merges accounted for.
It’s still a dodge ram dude. It was counted in this video
@@chriskarsseboom2200 Nope. If you look, RAM is counted separately. which is accurate, because we're talking about car *brands* not manufacturers. RAM trucks no longer carry the "Dodge" branding. Also, the parent company is most sensibly referred to as "
Chrysler" which they would all have been counted under if we were talking about corporations rather than brands.
I click this sub. Dawn i love that video is great video.
Thanks for information 👍👍👍👍🤠
Toyota, Honda and Nissan sold the most in Canada, US, and Asia. 👍😎
1991 toyota camry and still running strong.
2008 toyota sienna and still running strong.
TOYOTA💪👍
toyota prius
Great video! I think it would be awesome to see this in a side-by-side against revenues and market valuations as well. Would really give an insight into how the investment world views auto sales and how well sales/revenues are predicted by market valuations
Could we get one of these where the big three show their total numbers? GM stuff is so segmented that it doesn't give a clear picture. Love your content.
1987: Ford and Chevy: we are the Kings of NASCAR. Toyota: see you in 2007.
They use a Chevy motor though😂
If he does the same data but globally
Japanese and Germans will be on top.
.
Hmm. They didn't win WWII so they made up for it in another way. Nice.

Thanks!

Nice video
Great video!! I wish to see the same chart but in China.
I like how Ford startes on first and endes first
But the cars are still trash
Transport Giant Gold Edition background music...??? Ahhhh the memories
Blink and you'll miss it but nice to see Triumph and MG at the beginning there!
Omg Japan so good lol
Japanese engineering still top notch. What a brilliant country.
The wife got a 2007 Infiniti m35x and that thing is in great shape! The undercarriage, suspension components all still look fairly new. My Mexico built Dodge truck, while still looks good externally, everything underneath has rust.
Not with the new Supra sadly
Hasn’t been top notch since the 90s. Toyota and Honda are both existing on their reputations.
Really interesting I didn't realize just how popular Ford's were.
I like the music and I like my Mazda too!
you can never go wrong with Japan cars
lmao tesla there at the end. about to go through the roof
Andy Kim I see 40+ a day where I live and I’m not in la or a big city so be on the lookout for Tesla to explode soon
jason R 310,000 gas car explosions a year compared to the 20-50 tesla get a year. it’s a significant difference
drmikemyers I meant the market will explode you fucking idiot go read my comment properly
RIP Oldsmobile and Pontiac. My Grandpa always bought one or the other. Now he has a Buick and he hates it. Oddly enough he won't switch to a different brand.
A classic example of an old fashioned mind and refusing to change. Just like Motorola! They should fire all the designers.
Which brand?
Rip Pontiac 😭
2008: Goodbye Saturn. You are missed. Chevrolet did you wrong by killing you off. 😔
Jeremy Carter GM*. I honestly think If GM could look into the future and see what the car market is like today they totally would have kept Saturn and turned it into a hybrid/electric car brand. Too bad.
I watched a video on Saturn and from what I remember in the beginning they let Saturns management do it’s own thing and as more time went on the more GM got involved. It was really sad
Nice😊😊😊
Anyone got that song name?
Ford 150 and mustang nuff said but goddammit I luv me some s10 love brother
Jeep has been slowly clawing its way up since the late 80s.
Honestly the reason why most of these luxury cars are at the bottom is because of price and location. I do agree that there should be a video about worldwide cars sales.
In 1985 Oldsmobile was the third most popular car brand in the US. Imagine if you could go back in time to that year and tell everyone at the Olds division of GM that the brand would be shut down in 14 years. They would all be like “Ha! Get a load of this guy. We’re the third best selling car in America, buddy!”
Same thing with pontiac. They created the muscle car, and nobody gave a shit anymore. I miss real cars.
Should have changed the flags as some companies were bought out by other car brands from other countries
I’m amazed AMC fell, being they had beauts like the Pacer, Gremlin, Matador, Eagle. Who would’ve thought?
I'm Your President
I forgot about the Hornet. There was also the Rambler and the AMX and the Ambassador.
I believe their motto was: If it’s butt ugly, it’s AMC.
Funny.. very funny
I'm Your President
I don’t know. I never, as far as I know, received a comment from him. I never saw one anyway.
People LOVED those cars back then. Good times 😢
True. German cars are even popular here in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Lets not forget "fleet sales" to corporations,state and county agencies and rental car companies. These count for a huge part of sales.
2:05 When V-TEC kicks in

I had to wait a lot to see BMW coming !
**trying to find bmw**
Me: tf is it?
**date: 1987**
Me: oh nvm I smart
I learn very random things from this channel, like oldsmobile is an actual car brand
You must be really young. They are not a brand anymore. They were bought out by GM in the early 1900's and GM discontinued them in 2004. RIP Olds.
Wow gotta respect JEEP! Proud WJ Grand Cherokee owner.
Will you update this every year? Will be very interesting to see Tesla rise on the list in the coming years, now that it has finally made the list!
I've heard a story about this: there's only three brands cars selling in US: american cars, japanese cars, and the others.
jim chan Do you realize that this makes no sense? Why not say that the 3 types are Polish, French and others....makes just as much sense.
If you are a woman I would agree
3 years later TOYOTA was the highest selling car manufacturer
suggestion for the future videos: At the last year , pls let it pause for 30 sec, while we analyze over the final data
Make one for the best selling models of cars
Jeep: We are the third best selling U.S. car manufacturer!

Vette Racer 48 did you watch till the end it’s not third it’s 6th
@@jasonr6342 it's the third *American* brand.
Kudos to ford to stay on top without help like the other American car companies.
Ford did get $6 billion bailout in a form of loan
What are you smoking the US government bailed Ford out along with the rest of US auto Industry. if it wasnt for that, ford, GM, and Chrysler would all be defunct brands
@@NikkyElso Ford declined the 'loan' dumbshit.
Ford did not receive relief funds like the other American auto manufacturers but only got a "loan" from the government
Cody Cha a loan isn’t a bailout.
Ford would’ve survived without that loan, GM and Chrysler would’ve collapsed without their bailouts.
Tesla took out a loan at the same time, both companies used it for autonomous research.
1941: Pearl Harbour
2007: Toyota
I don't know which of those two events was the most painful for American pride
Can you please do one of the top selling car models in the US?
2007 was a great year for Toyota :D
Rafee fuck the rice spitters
Yeah.. and it went down again because of the pedal & floor mat issue which caused several crashes
@@g_pazzini Not to mention the government bailout for American auto companies.
This video was like watching horse racing ! ! ! Lmao
I have never watched horse racing and I still know this to be true.
That 2007 Toyota Camery really helped them out
wow.. 6 Japanese companies, 7 American companies, etc.
Toyota: Ha, you cant beat me! I’m Efficient!
Chevrolet: I can’t beat you, but he can.
Ford: later losers
Tesla: Give me another couple years, just wait.
Toyota: excuse me, Lexus and Scion belong to us too.
FORD = Found On The Road Dead. 💯💯 I have NEVER seen a Honda or Toyota on the side of the highway 😂😂

My moms 2014 CRV broke down on the side of the highway once. She had to call me to come help her with it while I was at work.
Dante E imagine getting salty over a car brand. Fucking dumbass.
LEt's be honest, Tesla won't come NEAR the top 5 or even top 10 hahah
Petrol cars: We will always remain at the top.
Tesla: hold my battery
Underrated comment😂
How many of the other brand sales are electric though.
Nissan was the first to reintroduce electric cars again.
Magical thinking right there.
Electric cars are just a fad. Oil will always be superior. Too many powerful people getting nasty rich and it isn’t just Americans, it’s worldwide. These powerful elites will not allow anything to threaten their piggy banks.
Would be interesting to see this minus fleet sales
MAN45 wow. You’re right. Forgot about that
How about the same video about electro cars?
Toyota 💞
Subaru 😍😍😍😍
From where you get the data?
I like ur videos And i Hope its True all
It's all official stats.
Wow, Nissan had been the biggest Japanese brand until mid-80s?
Yep, folks loved them when they sold their vehicles under the Datsun brand name.
I love Nissan Silvia
Yes before they got bought by renault
@@michaelguevara8015 and the quality went pooo
I was searching for Maruti 😆
Same 😂
Those F 150s...
Please make “Top selling car in US”
In America, the foreign brands that are widely considered the best quality are Toyota and Honda. Subaru as well, although it is not as widely known. Nissan is considered not as good. Korean cars are considered good budget cars, but their reputation has not caught up, yet. I feel like they are at the same point of reliability but lower price now that Japanese cars were in the 80's. German cars are considered overpriced, and not mechanically reliable. Italian and French cars are considered a bit eccentric and tiny, but some girls buy the Fiat 500 because it is cute.
Regarding American cars, people mostly buy American SUVs and trucks. Cadillac has a fairly good reputation, especially with black people and old white people. Jeep is an interesting badge, because people love Jeep even though they know it is not as mechanically reliable. Chrysler is generally considered to be less reliable and not as modern as Ford or Chevy, but it is also generally cheaper. In the countryside and small towns there is still a bit of a mentality of Ford loyalty versus Chevy loyalty, sort of like fans of two different sports teams, but this is diminished from what it used to be in previous generations. What rivalry still exists is mostly about pickup trucks, and this includes Ram.
People praising the electric cars in the comments are really giving me cancer lmao
Nah thats the carbon monoxide.
@@kungfujiujitsufliptrick4832 Funny thing is electric cars are way worse for the enviroment and us in the long run
No that would be the MTBE additive in gasoline.
Must be asians & europeans...
Some customer, which wanted to buy a car, asked an BMW salesman why electric cars are so silent. In this case an BMW i3 she wanted to buy.
The salesman was like:" it's because it's electric, it doesn't have an engine, just like a fan."
Could you do this for 2021?
You can literally tell when the fast and furious came out
Yes, you can see that the 00s was the decade of Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc. with their hot sporty hatbacks and gaining fame on reliability.
