Cái danh sách này là xếp hạng 10 hãng xe có số lượng bán nhiều nhất nhưng không phải cứ bán được nhiều là có lợi nhuận hay tỷ suất lợi nhuận lớn nhất đâu. Nếu xét về lợi nhuận năm vừa rồi thì hình như Toyota còn sau Honda đấy mặc dù lượng bán hơn gấp đôi Honda, Nissan bán được nhiều hơn Honda nhưng lợi nhuận chỉ bằng 60% của Honda. Volkswagen mới là No. 1 về lợi nhuận năm 2010 với 9,5 tỷ USD, tiếp theo là Ford và Honda tầm 6,5 tỷ, Toyota chỉ được 6 tỷ, GM hơn 4 tỷ, v.v.
Còn về tỷ suất lợi nhuận thì cao nhất là Porsche rồi đến Audi, sau đó mới là BMW và Mercedes, thường thì xe hạng sang có tỷ suất lợi nhuận cao hơn xe bình dân nhưng đầu tư xe hạng sang rủi ro hơn vì nếu không bán được nhiều thì dễ bị lỗ nặng, điển hình là Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo bị bán lại do công ty mẹ không nuôi được, trong khi Audi và Rolls-Royce lại là con những con gà để trứng vàng cho VW và BMW do bán được nhiều.

This German heavyweight is officially the third largest creator of four-wheelers, as per sales study. It sold 7,140,000 units in 2010.
Hyundai

In 2010 alone, the Hyundai Motor Group had a global sale of 5,744,018 units which helped it edge past Ford.
Part of Hyundai’s success story can also be attributed to Kia. It will not be wrong to say that the Hyundai-Kia collaboration benefited the Korean auto-bigwig to a major extent.

Until recently, Ford had been the third largest automaker in the world. But Volkswagen overtook it since 2006.
Nissan
Another Japanese carmaker makes it to our list. 2011 finds Nissan as the second largest auto-manufacturer in Japan. One of the reputed “Asian 4” maker of four-wheelers, it has been lauded with a number of prestigious awards. The company is also into producing new electric cars. The Green Car Journal bestowed the 2010 Green Car Vision Award on the biggie’s latest e-car, the Nissan Leaf.
Nissan presently ranks sixth among the top ten car brands in the world according to sales statistics.
Honda
The Honda, like the Toyota, is another Japanese bigwig that has been consistently delivering the goods. In early 2011, Honda overtook Nissan to become the second biggest Japanese automaker. As of now, it is the sixth biggest car manufacturer in the world. Back in the ‘80s it launched luxury brands like Acura. In 2011, it is coming with small cars that are supposed to entice buyers with medium budget.
PSA Group (Peugeot)

It sold 3,602,200 units in the year against 3,042,311 in 2009 becoming the eighth among the best car brands in the world.
Suzuki

Renault S.A
This reputed automobile producer is based in France and its collaboration with Nissan makes it one of the leading carmakers in the world. As per a study by OICA, The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, it sold 2,625,796 units in 2010 as against 2,296,009 in 2009.

Renault has recently tied up with Nissan and Daimler AG. Formerly known as Daimler Chrysler, the AG may be out of this list but it still has a great reputation among car buyers. It is the thirteenth largest maker of automobiles in the world. This German car builder has had a great reversal of fortunes due to the recent economic downturn but is hoping to make a comeback by striking collaboration with Renault-Nissan.
