    Vauxhall brand and the regular that stick to brands I guess and pricing also may be good.
    At least since PSA took over I believe they'll be better then when GM was in control.

    PSA didn't do anything with the Mokka though, they inherited it from GM.

    I get that but I'd like to think they're cars will be better.
    Mad seeing all the difference between countries.

    I'd say Skoda would have had it here few years ago.

    Hyundai really doing well.

    Misleading of them to say 'every country'. There are loads of countries missing including most of the African continent.

    Surprised Spain isn't a Seat. Italy still the home of Fiat.

    I see in England the graphic has the golf as the best seller. However in 18 ,19 and 20 so far it is the fiesta.

    Toyota seem extremely popular worldwide, especially the Hilux all over the developing world. Is Toyota the world's biggest motor company?

    I think ford is.

    the issue with a lot of those countries is they'll take the old ones and keep them running, it might be the most popular car but not 'new' car .

    ford probably sell more new F150's every year in the US and Canada than Toyota sell hiluxes worldwide, but 20 years later half those f150's will be in a scrap yard, 90% of the hilux's will still be roaming the desert or rainforest.

    Has been the world's biggest for a long time though VW has narrowed the gap a lot in the past decade

    Ford has never even been number one in America, always been GM

    Sure it's still a huge company but a lot smaller than Toyota or VW

    VW was a distant second twenty years ago, Toyota declined due to rise of the Koreans and VW has grown considerably

    They have the population of about 3 Tallaght's . Probably means about 100 people bought a new yaris last year. :)

    Probably all fleet cars for rental. Lots of Icelanders would drive 4x4s.

    Hong Kong - Hiace is most popular. Is car ownership low given that it's a densely populated city and most vehicles are commercial?

    I don't think that's what surprised me ;)

    When it comes to size we better don't try to join any motor related competitions ;)

    Or even population related ones.

    Still not sure what all these Octavias are doing in Switzerland. Are they just more clever with money???

    Many Swiss imports in Europe, always well specced cars with no expense spared.

    That map is interesting to look at, but zero info on what dates it covers, what year/month. Maybe it is a weekly map for week 26 in 2016?

    Who knows...

    Hiaces are probably taxis. There’s an awful lot of local knock-off Hiace models too.

    True, market cap is the best method for comparing company valuations.

    The valuation of Tesla has risen of fallen in a day the same value of the entire Ford Motor company. Crazy!
