Говорить про american cars, означает обсуждать саму историю развития США. Ведь без таких компаний, как Ford американскую историю и экономику представить просто невозможно.

The company General Motors, which owns the following brands of American cars: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Holden, and Vauxhall. Previously produced as well: Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Hummer and several others, for 77 years was the largest automaker in the world. This leadership GM held until 2008, then lost to Toyota and Volkswagen. However, in 2011, they again managed to achieve leadership.

General Motors Company was established in the United States. It happened on September 16, 1908. The founder of the company was William Durant - the founder of Buick. The company's headquarters was previously located in the city of Flint (Michigan), and then moved to Detroit.

Speaking about the US cars, you can not forget about such a brand as a Jeep. In our time, the word "jeep" has become synonymous with the concepts of SUVs. Jeep is a subsidiary of Chrysler Group LLC.

Jeep for America was the same as steel jeans, cowboys and Coca-Cola. This is not just a car, but a special philosophy, lifestyle.

The term "Jeep" appeared in the years of the Second World War, as well as the nickname of other light military multi-purpose vehicles "Wilis-MW" (Willys) and "Ford GPW" (Ford). After the war, Willis became the trademark of future generations of civilians, as well as army vehicles of the Willis company, which is from Toledo, officially registered on June 30, 1950.

Now Jeep, these are not cars for the needs of the American army, but the beloved Grand Cherokee, Patriot and Wrangler.

America is now somewhat inferior to colleagues from Japan and Germany. If you research the reviews, then among the most popular American cars are Ford (Exort and Focus models), and Chrysler.
