Mitsubishi very likely to also merge considering Nissan is the top shareholder.

I had no idea Toyota and Volkswagen were number 1 and 2.

Wdym, they make good trucks for even Salafist terrorists in Iraq and Syria

Of course their profits are as strong as their cars

What's surprising?

Toyotas are just not as common where I live. But tbh I couldn't tell you what the most popular car brand here is. It seems like a mix of everything. That was the source of my confusion.

Btw I know that you were joking but I wanted to let it out.

Theres a pretty huge domestic automobile industry in India, and most people (from what I've seen, maybe I'm wrong) tend to use two wheelers, so Toyoya is not quite as big as it is there I imagine. I could walk down my home street and 80% of the cars on the street or in the traffic will be some sort of Toyota.

Yeah partly or wholly Indian brands dominate the market: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1090709/india-car-sales-volume-by-oem/

I wanted to find stats from a decade ago because I felt Toyota was a bigger presence then.
