We no longer have 3 domestic auto companies. Now down to 2.
Ford & GM are the 2. FCA is a European company with head office in London UK. It is not an Italian company anymore.

Dieselgate VW Corporation, is now the biggest Automaker, beating Toyota. It also made 0.3 % profit. No Dieselgate did not account for the losses, they were a result of downturns in the economies of Brazil, Russia etc.
MAN and Scania have majority holdings held by VW
