porsche is not listed cause i wanted to list cars that people on this board own. luxury cars were not included. as far as whats the criteria, this is just a general poll of what company people like thats all. its not suppose to be so technical.

Ford started the whole production line thing so I go with Ford. Remember Ford = Aston-Martin, Jaguar, Cosworth, Lincoln, Mercury, Volvo, Land Rover and YES MAZDA.

So technically voting for Mazda is a vote for Ford.

Well all of you are almost right, but not quite. Now for today's history lesson courtesy of excerpts from about.com
The first car manufacturers in the world were French: Panhard & Levassor (1889) and Peugeot (1891). By car manufacturer we mean builders of entire motor vehicles for sale and not just engine inventors who experimented with car design to test their engines - Daimler and Benz began as the latter before becoming full car manufacturers ...
The first automobile to be mass produced in the United States was the 1901, Curved Dash Oldsmobile, built by the American car manufacturer Ransome Eli Olds
American car manufacturer, Henry Ford (1863-1947) invented an improved assembly line and installed the first conveyor belt-based assembly line in his car factory in Ford's Highland Park, Michigan plant, around 1913-14.
That is all ... class dismissed.
