Chinese Car Brands Would Compete Better If Makers Were Privatized

Didn't someone said that 70% to 80% of the cars in India are Indian cars??? So I guess Hyundai must have dominated the India foreign car brand.

Yeah , U are right
Hyundai is the Biggest Foreign Brand in India with a 14 % market share
While Maruti is the biggest Indian car maker with 44% Market share as of Nov 2011 , though it is now partly owned by Suzuki and rest By GOI and common share Holders like me
followed by TATA with 17% and Mahindra with 6%

Other Players like Toyota , Honda , GM , Ford have like 3-4% stake each while VW has about 2% stake and all Luxury car Brands like BMW , Audi , Jaguar , Porsche , Maserati etc have a combine share of 1%

Automotive industry is a consumer industry, not a capital industry. I don't see falling behind in this regard as desireable, of course, but it is by no means an emergency. The market will sort itself out.

So-called foreign car makers are actually local car makers with foreign investment and licensed technology. Imported cars are rare.

Today, pure Chinese car brands are gaining market share in China. Take a look at Great Wall Motors.
