The major US automobile manufacturers include General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. All these three companies have been known for creating both affordable and luxury vehicles. Below we have mentioned all American car companies to date.Most Popular Car Companies Of America
General Motors: Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac
With a history of more than 100 years, GM is definitely one of the key players of the industry, with a global reach and a significant influence for all auto manufacturers worldwide. Mostly known for its classic Buick and the affordable Chevrolets, General Motors has also made itself famous for the powerful muscle car Camaro and the lean Corvette. Overall 2013 sales place General Motors third in the world’s top automakers.Chevrolet

With European competitors such as Mercedes or Audi challenging the US market, Cadillac has decided not only to grow its sales in Asia, but also to start manufacturing their vehicles in China. However, it has refreshed it’s versions with better looks and performance, such as the 2015 Cadillac Escalade which may boost the numbers.

The company has manufacturing plants all over the world and has known a flaunting success in recent years.
This US automaker covers a wide range of vehicles: sedans, crossovers, SUVs, trucks, vans and has even got into hybrid models. They remain one of the most significant companies in the US, with tiny Focus being nominated as the world’s best-sold small vehicle in 2013, as it witnessed consistent sales in China and other Asian countries. In the US, however, the same model ranked fifth among the most popular small vehicles.
Ford’s luxury vehicle: Lincoln
Ford Focus is not the only one enjoying public appreciation. It appears that Lincoln has seen a 21% boost in sales during the first months of 2014. With the MKC foreseeing sales in China, alongside the MKZ sedan, Lincoln is definitely challenging its General Motors counterpart, the Cadillac. Both of them remain predominantly destined for the US market.Ford’s pony: Mustang
Fiercely battling GM’s Camaro, the Mustang might actually manage to make it overseas in 2015. With a fresh look for the 2015 Ford Mustang that’s sportier than ever, Ford hopes shaking sales might actually stabilize. The major challenge for this legendary pony remains the same as for its all-time competitors in the muscle car league (Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger): maintaining sales at a decent level. With the upcoming generations, manifesting little to no interest in what these vehicles have to offer, the effort may have to be significant.Chrysler
- Years: 1925 – Present
- Headquarters: Auburn Hills, Michigan, U.S
- Founder/Parent Company: Walter Chrysler
- Website: http://www.chrysler.com
- More Information: Chrysler Logo, History and Models
It looks like the acquisition benefited the auto giant; sales reportedly grew a big 20% in August 2014, whereas for Ford and GM things don’t look equally stunning. This may well be due to Chrysler’s massive evolution in the luxury sedan section: the 300 models rank high among the best affordable large sedans in the US.
Dodge

- Founder/Parent Company: John Francis Dodge, Horace Elgin Dodge
