What are the names of all car companies?

It's impossible to provide a completely exhaustive list of *every* car company. There are thousands of manufacturers, including many small, regional, or defunct companies. However, here's a list encompassing some of the most well-known and significant global car brands, categorized for clarity:

Major Global Manufacturers:

* Japanese: Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Suzuki, Daihatsu, Lexus (Toyota's luxury brand), Infiniti (Nissan's luxury brand), Acura (Honda's luxury brand)

* German: Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Opel, Smart

This list is not exhaustive, and many other significant brands exist regionally or are specialized manufacturers (e.g., primarily producing trucks or buses). Many companies also own numerous sub-brands and divisions. To find a truly comprehensive list would require extensive research across numerous global automotive databases and directories.
