small company? BMW sells as much cars as Mazda or Kia and more as Subaru or Mitsubishi, nerver heard someone call them relative small

My thoughts exactly. Considering they're one of the only auto groups in the green for sales lately, methinks the blog poster should stfu about small.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Apr 3rd 2008 11:14AM
If you looked at the updated auto family chart on here a week ago, it drives home that BMW is small (Honda too).
Of the 4 companies you mention, two only two are their own entities at all. Mazda is a subsidiary of Ford and Kia is owned by Hyundai. That makes them both marques, not makers.
Subaru 17% owned by Toyota effective this week.
Mitsubishi is indeed independent, but just because they're a smaller maker than BMW doesn't mean BMW isn't small.
Find your faves on the chart:
