Italian Car Production (Brand) - 1961-70

The Fiat 124 was a smash hit, especially with courting couples it seems


This was good decade for car manufacturing in Italy. The total units made increased by over a million, which was a 150% increase. Fiat hit its highest production volume in Italy for 1970. Models such as the 124, 125 and 128 were introduced in the latter part of the period under discussion.

Mitsubishi Sports Car Production By Model : 1997-2014

In the final of the series, we look at sports cars. In this period there are three models to consider and none were produced beyond 2011. It is a class of car that has lost ground over the years. I don't know what the customers bought instead, but perhaps it was just the Sunday drive that has gone out of fashion.

The Eclipse was a compact model produced in 3-door hatchback and 2-door convertible

Pick-Up Trucks 2015 : Top 50 Models

Pick-ups were once work horses that were utilitarian in execution. Today most are more car-like in comfort and finish, so private buyers have increasingly been obtaining them. They are more popular in some regions than others. In countries with an outdoor lifestyle - such as New Zealand - they have become extremely popular.

Mitsubishi LCV Production By Model : 1997-2014

Mitsubishi Motors may have lost its Fuso truck division but it retained its light commercial vehicles. As the extreme right column below shows, they have achieved - for the time here under consideration - roughly from 20-30% of all production for MMC. So let's look at each model:

The Triton (L200) pick-up truck is the largest within the LCV range, with about two thirds of total units made. Some

Italian Car Production (Brand) - 1951-60

I wish more associations were as open as ANFIA. It allows us to peer into the past and see how things were. From it we see the Italian car industry rising from the ashes of WWII. It's surprising how quickly things picked up from the wreckage wrought on Europe not many years earlier.

Fiat of course was the mainstay of the automotive industrial revival, accounting for 84% of the volume for this

Brand Series - Uber Luxury

We now look at the final in the series, the �ber luxury marques. This sort of car sells to people who may view the purchase of a Rolls Royce in the same way as most of us would buying a sandwich for lunch. In other words, for those whom spending money isn't an issue they need to fret about. They may also own several cars.

Most luxury brands are doing very well but it isn't as easy making a

Mitsubishi MPV Production By Model : 1997-2014

Allowing for the fact that Mitsubishi's small MPVs are under the Kei car category for this series, then these are the larger multi purpose vehicles. Often around the 10% of total Mitsubishi production, from 2005 they have been minimal in their contribution. I assume the volumes they sold in made a business case hard to justify.



The first up is the Freeca aka the Adventure among a host of other

Alfa Romeo Production - 2013-15

The Giulia is just around the corner


AR production has been discussed in depth before, the previous article covering 1994-2013. That can be seen by clicking here. I didn't have detail for 2013 then but I do now. One person left a comment back then of how sad that AR had gone down so far. I replied "It will be interesting to see what Fiat does with Alfa, if it will be turned around". We will

Brand Series - Premium

Premium models are on a profitable road


Just above the mainstream starts the premium car. It has a brand that people respect and extra quality that makes the owner feel that little bit special, or dare I say, superior. The gap between those two layers of vehicle has narrowed recently. Mainstream these days is generally good quality and premium cars have moved into segments that they eschewed

Mitsubishi SUV Production By Model : 1997-2014

This is one area of production that has worked well for the company. Mitsubishi have been strongly involved with SUVs for a long time and it was a good move. People want this sort of vehicle and profit margins in this area are good. One can only wonder how Mitsubishi Motors would have fared had they not got involved with the SUV segment when they did. There is a broad range of vehicles from the

Brand Series - Mainstream

One of the casualties


Mainstream cars are the biggest selling due to their affordability and acceptably good quality. For this reason there are more brands participating in this area. It should be reasonably profitable, but not as much as you would imagine. Chasing volume over profit - especially in Europe - has eroded margins. The gap between mainstream and premium has got closer too. On top

Mitsubishi Kei Car Production By Model : 1997-2014

While regular sized cars have slipped for Mitsubishi, the tiny Kei variety have done well recently. It has been a roller coaster ride however. Most are sold in Japan with domestic regulations favouring them. They are well suited to a crowded nation with narrow streets too. What of the models listed in the chart below?

The Minica started in 1962 and lasted in production until 2011. It was

Mauritius Sales - Brand / Jan-Jun 2016

Total sales for this small island nation were down 10% for the first 6 months of 2016. I haven't got a lot of history for Mauritius but sales are solid yet down on recent years. As can happen in small markets, sales can bounce around somewhat.

Not only are sales down, but the top three all lost market share, which is what the chart is set up to show. Nissan took top spot off Kia in 2015 and is

Lotus Car Sales By Nation : 2015

The data for Lotus sales is not easy to get. In fact the totals here are based on production, rather than sales. Some major nations are estimates (E), and the 'others' figure of 12.3% of sales is larger than I would like. It would be nice if Lotus were more open with data.



Global sports car sales have fallen over the years for a reason I cannot explain. For Lotus however, sales are

Mitsubishi Regular Car Production By Model : 1997-2014

The regular car is sedan (saloon) and hatchback offerings excluding sports cars and Kei cars. The list excludes any made under another brand name, such as Proton. Sometimes names have been confusingly used across different models in varying regions. Also, some names were regional, not all of which I included below.

Other anomalies include the Mirage, which was a hatchback Lancer until the

Renault Production In Asia By Model : 2014/15

In the final article in this 2016 series, we look at Asia, not a strong region for Renault. There is only one assembly plant, in Korea. It is the Samsung facility that makes Samsung models as well as some cars for Renault. The location is in Busan and Samsung started making cars there in 1998, with technical assistance from Nissan. Nissan is now in partnership with Renault, so the car company it

Mitsubishi Regional Production Percentages : 1997-2014

Mitsubishi is a small Japanese car maker, that has for years struggled against stronger domestic manufacturers. It's car production goes back to 1917 and after the disruption of WWII, it was back into car making.

By the 1970's Chrysler bought a 15% stake and Mitsubishi made cars for them. Chrysler got into trouble and the arrangement was finished by the early 1990's. Mitsubishi was doing well at

Renault Production In Africa / M East By Model : 2014/15

Parking wardens waste no time in Morocco


We may not think of North Africa as a region producing cars but Renault obviously do just that. 307,500 vehicles were made in two facilities, Morocco and Algeria. The former nation has high hopes of the motor industry becoming a major part of its economic growth.

All the models made for Renault originated from Dacia, the low cost brand. These are an

Brand Series - Low Cost

Many cars in the world are bought in affluent lands. The buyers can afford the purchase price and the costly depreciation that follows. However, in many poorer nations a new car isn't even a dream. So car manufacturers have turned to building cars at a budget price. That is enough to get some into a new car. I will look at brands and regions, then rate them. The rating is a mix of things, so

VW Diesel Gate Poll Result

It ran for about a month and thousands of people came to the site. Eleven took the time or were interested enough to be part of the survey to leave their vote. Talk about passivity! Anyway in a funny sort of way it says a lot. The question was 'Is VW doing enough outside of the US to help customers?'

18% said VW was doing enough. They seem to be doing only as much as demanded by law in a
