Some guy told me Audi is 4 German companies:
Mercedes, BMW, VW and 1 more...
That's why they have the 4 rings as their logo.. 4 of the best of Germany and such /shrug
NO! audi is owned by VW (or vice versa?)
Mercedez is owned by daimler-chrysler
BMW is privately owned by some rich family (I think) EDIT: ok its public, but a family owns more than 50% of stock...

No! I've heard the story of the four interlocking rings, and that is not what it means. I don't have the time, but perhaps someone can search google for the answer.

Plus Vauxhall and Holden. They have a controlling interest in Daewoo. They are "partners" of Suzuki, Isuzu, Subaru, and Fiat. They used to own Lotus. They've collaborated with BMW, Toyota, and Renault. They're all over the place.
However, the most valuable part of the GM empire: they still own the Geo name.
I think the french govt. still has a 15% stake in renault
Renault = Renault + a controlling stake in Nissan
PSA = Peugeot + Citroen
both are publicly traded on the CAC-40

Nope, you got it wrong. Mercedes owns Chrysler. Hence, Daimler in the name
Actually, I think it was a merge. Either way, one thing I'm 100% sure is that no american company or exec has any say in mercedes side of the business. The reverse is true, crysler does have a few german execs.

They merged. Mercedes is a just a brand like el fenix said.
Ford owning BMW... the mere thought of it is enough to trigger my gag reflex. Good thing that won't happen in a million years.
