The current automotive industry is the largest in American history and has a commanding lead in car manufacturing over any other nation around the world. This influence has allowed for some of the most memorable, popular, and expensive cars to be created. Some of these cars have become synonymous with their brand, with many drivers buying into their brand year after year. Here’s a list of the top car brands in America.
Ford
Like Chevrolet, Ford remains one of America’s most prominent automobile manufacturers. Ford is probably the most well-known American car brand in history. Even though it’s been in business for more than a century, people still talk about the company’s founder and how he introduced many industry-changing innovations.
Chevrolet
Cars are a relatively young industry, but carmaker Chevrolet involved itself in the business in 1911. Its earliest focus was not on supercars but rather on more affordable vehicles that would allow working families to move around in style. The Chevrolet Suburban SUV, released in 1935, stands today as the oldest continually marketed nameplate.
Dodge
Dodge, the company that started by selling auto parts, began in the early 1900s with a line of cars. These included one model known as the “Charger.” During this time, Dodge was also building airplane parts and military vehicles. A year later, it released its first automobile on American roads. Since then, Dodge has continued to make a variety of high-quality vehicles for every car model you can think of.
Tesla
For 17 years, Tesla has put itself on the map as an innovator in American automotive history. In addition to being one of the most popular brands in the country, Tesla is a global leader in electrification. The company’s rapid ascent to popularity is thanks largely to its work on green vehicles. You’ll see many Tesla S and X models on the road just as you would any other car model.
Cadillac
One of the most storied American automakers, Cadillac is reinventing itself after a period of lackluster products. Cadillac is now getting back to being a symbol of automotive luxury, thanks to recent releases like the CT5, CT6, and the next-generation Escalade. Today, the Cadillac’s glory days of the 1960s are a distant memory, but the General Motors-owned automaker has come back as a big player in the luxury car scene in the U.S.
