I have had so many questions in the past about who runs who. No, I’m not talking about men and women but about car manufacturers. For as long as I can remember, it has always been a tough job to figure out who is bankrolling the “other guy”. There are some long time obvious ones like Toyota owning Lexus, Honda owning Acura, and Ford owning Lincoln. Good news is TooManyCars.info and Jalopnik.com have clarified the whole picture and helped us out with even the most obscure! Below is a preview of the map of how all the auto manufacturers are tied to each other. If you would like to view the full high res copy, click the map below.
