Well Germany has what? 5 German auto makers? Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagan and one other who's name escapes me. We in the USA have two American auto makers Ford and GM. I'd say that the Germans must be doing something right. They have kept their auto makers in business. Not an expert in autos, but I would think five producers is much better then two.

Actually Volkswagen, Porsche, and Audi are under the same ownership. BMW and Merecedes are the othere 2.

GM has a large share of the German auto market under the Opel brand and Ford also has a big prescense in Germany.
