Can You Guess What Countries Build The Most Cars?

Kia Motors Corp., a South Korean company that sells vehicles in the U.S., plans to build a $1 billion assembly plant in Mexico. General Motors, a Detroit-based multinational car company, is moving production of a Cadillac model from Mexico to Tennessee. These headlines from yesterday alone represent an international car industry that increasingly sources parts and labor from around the world.

As far as where cars are actually put together, China leads the way as the world’s largest producer of cars and commercial vehicles, making roughly double the number (22.1 million) that the U.S. produced in 2013 (11.1 million),  according to data from auto industry analyst WardsAuto.

Wow. Even though Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz and such nowadays keep making cheaper vehicles and more models, they still are not overproducing the vehicles like the U.S., China or Japan. I guess the Germans still do care about the whole exclusivity stuff.

And I noticed the U.S. beat Japan in 2013 and is now the second biggest mass producer in the world.

Well, I'm not surprised. Because Japan actually cares about quality, when the Americans and the Chinese both just make cheap stuff only to make profits.

This is where the cars are actually produced, not where the company is located. So a Toyota that gets put together in America would count towards U.S. I believe all of BMW's suv's are not made in Germany.
