@@davida7153 I actually saw a surprising number of Fiat 500s in Los Angeles when I was there a few years back, but that was probably a local phenomenon.
So old fashioned the idea that a big car is better! (Typically American, though) Many Europeans have smaller cars for smaller streets with smaller parking spaces, they are much cheaper, lower taxed and eco-friendly.
It's the distance too. Very few people would drive through many countries in Europe, but Americans would change states driving on those huge interstate highways.
In the US, the car manufacturers found a strange loophole where they have fuel consumption taxes on what are called "cars" but not on "trucks" because they are not considered into the same category for some reason. the consequence is that the tax supposed to incentivize more efficient cars actually do the exact opposite

So weird to see that people in the US have never heard some of the most historic brands in Europe (and worldwide...) I mean... FIAT is 124 yo, SKODA is 125, SEAT 73 and PEUGEOT 127, which makes this brand the world's oldest automaker still in operation...!! Makes you feel people in US are kind of... isolated... in a parallel world, having though the impression of openness and freedom. #thatsabitsad
Fiat and Peugeot were present in the US, Fiat had left in the early 80's, Peugeot in the 90's (or so). But most importantly now both brands belong to the same manufacturer. Fiat bought stakes in Chrysler, then merged with PSA (Peugeot -Citroen) and now called Stellantis. They use the same platform for many models under Jeep, Fiat, Peugeot brand names. Even the Fiat Ducato was re-badged as Ram ProMaster and sold for years.
@@janoskosik3168 So that means that many of these brands ARE present in the US market, but due to practices like companies merging, people have no idea who's really behind a fancy brand. (And that -of course- applies also to EU market and worldwide. Sometimes it's impossible to trace down who's the boss)
@@Brauiz90 What I like about Dacia is the fact that it is on the cheaper side but that doesn´t mean low quality. They are pretty solid cars even when they are 7+ years old. Very popular and if you take care properly they can "live" longer than VW or similar.
I am Portuguese but I use the Italian´s Fiat Panda, a great car both for city and road. PS: Smaller cars need less fuel and are easy to park, a perk in a country that as a lot of old cities and streets like mine.
Never let it be said that Americans are insular! 😂 I'm not sure what's worse, not knowing the names of actual countries or not being aware of some of the biggest manufacturers in the world.
Dacia (pronounced da-chia) are built in Romania in a modern factory owned by Renault (pronounced Wreno). In some countries they are badged as Renault and in others as Dacia which was an original Romanian manufacturer. They were originally sold as cheaper utilitarian cars but, these days, they are comfortable, well equipped, very reliable and competitively priced.
I'm actually more shocked that apparently half of the biggest car brands in the world aren't known at all in the USA. I knew all of those brands except maybe 2 or 3 (like the Iran one??). But Honda, Renault, Peugeot... these are big ass brands. Maybe not as big as VW but still pretty big.
The US has strictly-enforced but not always beneficial laws on construction of automobiles. For the numbers sold, compliance to these laws and the need for a large, in-place dealer network with trained mechanics, many European manufacturers can't be bothered. Look at any US-spec Citroën DS or SM, Renault 5, Peugeot 504, and compare them to the Euro versions and you'll see that the Americans butcher many beautiful designs, same with the E-type Jag.
Dacia is a Romaninan Car Brand, that belongs to the French Renault. They are good cars, in the cheaper segment. I have one. 10 years, and never have had a problem. Lada is an Russian brand, and Skoda belongs to VW, and is a Czech car.
What struck me was that he had difficulty pronouncing the names of some of the countries, I can understand the cars he may never have seen them before but he usually comes across as a pretty well educated guy ( for an American) and yet some of the country’s trough him, go figure as they say😊
@@ivylasangrienta6093 or that he didnt knew Renault. like, come on. edit: like, i can imagine fiat or a smart may be actually very europe or maybe even asia specific just because its made to fit tightest parking spots and in america its the exact opposite. so even though i'd be like wtf you dont know that? i kinda get it. but renault??
Renault and Peugeot are French. They kind of pioneered the concept of compact cars. Dacia is Romanian but owend by Renault. It operates like a budget brand. Skoda is from Czechia and part of the VW Group. It's similar to Volkswagen but more budget oriented. Seat (Spanish) is another Volkswagen brand. This one is focused on more modern design/lifestyle. Fiat is Italian. The brand changed owners a few times. I think it's with Peugeot these days. Volvo is from Sweden, so it makes sense it's popular there. I think they are owned by Chinese Investors though.
VW is Volkwagen pronounced " folksvagen" meaning peoples wagon - German. Peugeot is French and is pronounced " perjow" with a soft j. Your pronunciations had me in stitches!
@@solaccursio I can assure you it's Dat-sha. My wife is Romanian. . . . . . . . . . . . Dacia is the Roman Empire era name for what we now call Romania. It was centered on Transylvania, stretching to the Danube in the south, the Black Sea in the east, and the Tisza in the west. The Carpathian Mountains were located in the middle of Dacia. It thus roughly corresponds to the present-day countries of Romania, as well as parts of Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Ukraine. Not called Romania until 1862 !!!!
Dacia is a Romanian car brand owned by Renaut(France) that sells affordable cars on the 14.000$ to 20.000$ price range, depending on model and extras. I just bought a brand new Dacia Sandero 65hp with no extras for around 14.000$! It is the text book deffinition of "just enough, nothing more".
It's not matter of education, it's simply the US vs the international market. Of course, Americans don't know about European brands which are not for sale in the US, but we Europeans I don't really know about many American brands, even if we have heard the name. But the models? Well, Ford is very popular even in Europe. There is that big Ford factory in Cologne (Köln), and another one in Britain. We Europeans know certain US brands, but individual models like the Neon, brands like Pontiac? No.
European education systems spend time teaching students car brands from around the world...??? Sounds like a massive waste of time promoted by a bunch of "EviL CoRpOrAtiOns". Maybe you all are just brainwashed then?
Vauxhall is Opel😉, Lada is an old Russian carbrand. My dad had several and they looked like square tins, but never had problems... Didn't know all the models, but most of the brands Was surprised you don't know peugeot or renault...
My uncle had a Lada too, we laughed at it but he kept it is many years without any prob...and not the same with famous brand in Eu...we don t laugh anymore
I used to have Lada back in the 90s. It was a shed, but it never broke down. I used it to carry building materials. Oce tied a 10 foot I beam to the roof, added another dent to the car 😂
My friend had an old Lada.niva car.. When he was travelling in it around the middle east some 20 years ago, everybody wanted to buy it from him because it was reliable, easy to fix "donkey".
@@erurainon6842 A lada Niva is hardly an S(port) in the SUV part, it's an all-terrain vehicle and that's it, in fact that's good because if it was made with the suv philosophy it would be a piece of shit offroader.
Fiat Panda, you nailed the pronunciation, is a joy to drive! Some say it's better to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow, but the Panda isn't even that slow 😍
@@attilabokor8045 no it doesnt, no one in this ´vid said it, and in the original video description stands" the most popular cars by country" its not import nor new registrations.
With a total absence of knowledge about other countries, their geography and needs for car features, paired with missing knowledge of the car industry, what quality of content could be expected? It's like serving the prejudice of American ignorance and missing education.
Skoda (Czech brand, today under Volkswagen concern) is very popular in Central Europe (Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary) and somewhat popular in other countries like Germany. Btw, it's Škoda with diacritics, pronounced as Shkoda. It is the name of the founder (not really, but it's complicated) and literally means pity/shame or damage in Czech (Slovak too).
I was actually baffled that you had never heard of Peugeot, Renault or Skoda. BTW, I am European but I like watching your video's, don't know why, I just do 😂.
Did Ryan actually say Hilex? Toyota HILUX. Hyundai is the world's third-largest carmaker, behind Toyota and Volkswagen. Well according to Wikipedia, it is.
I you looked at the total number of Tesla cars in Norway, not just the quite new Tesla 3, the numbers would have been much higher. EVs make up more then 50% of all new privat car sales.
Despite all the videos he did so far and all the good impressions we had of him pronouncing or even knowing all these car brands and countries (sadly) really exposes him being an American :D
And how about Norway? The most intricate landscape and roads in the western, but still the MOST eco-friendly, in general. The ONLY country where Tesla is the most common car. Welcome to Norway.
you're right, this was a bit weird video, but you're much, much, much more weirder person than any video I've ever watched. It seems you don't understand what are you watching, nor you have even a tiniest quantity of interest for it. It's really weird to watch you. It's incredible. It's like watching a blank paper reacting to a grass growing.
Pickups are extremely popular in Canada also. I don't know who put this video together, but from what I've heard, the Ford F-150 had been the biggest selling vehicle here for years. Cross the border and you'll see as many pickups on the road as you do in the US, especially in smaller cities and rural areas.
Stelantis group: Peugeot (sounding Pejo), Fiat, Citroën, DS, Lancia, Alpha Romeo, Ferrari... Renault Group : Renault (sounding like Reno), Dacia (sounding Dasia), Alpine, Renault Samsung.

@@creeperpl4yer Good point. But still a bad name even with two L's 😘 But I guess Publicis made a brillant slideshow to justify this and their modico pecunia at the same time 🥂 Just waiting for the name to be changed to one of its brand...

@@jinxvrs yeah I spelt it phonetically "utes" looks like it should be pronounced "oots" 😆 I don't know why, but I had a brain fog and completely forgot how to spell utility 😂
Ford is now (!) advertising the F-150 even in Germany. Generally, in Germany we consider cars like the if F-150 is totally failed by concept as they are way oversized and way too fuel-hungry. Since car taxes are based on Engine displacement in Germany and fuel taxes are high as well, owning an F-150 will quite quickly become costly in Germany. But an F-150 is not a cheap car anyway. The German equivalent of this type of "family tanks" ( in German: "Familien-Panzer") would be the Mercedes GL. In theTop Gear episode about the London race they named the Mercedes GL as "the chelsea'est of all the Chelsea tractors"😂 (its on youtube) The term "Familenpanzer" was coined by our great German humorist "Loriot": he made cartoons about oversized, heavy cars by showing a family doing their sunday afternoon trip in an army tank. The model was named "Susi II" 😂
Dacia is also popular in germany. I actually didn't know that it's a romanian car brand. and i didn't know that it's pronunced "Datscha" instead of "Datschia" at least that's what someone else here said. Because they pronunce it "Datschia" in tv ads.
0:54 It's a subsidiary of Renault. 1:15 More reliable and sturdy than any american asthmatic gluton from USA. 2:58 There's a 4x4 version of it, not as good as the original from the late 80's-early 90's but good enough. 5:06 they are basically old models from Peugeot rebranded.
Also, btw, Skoda is a part of the VW group so they are kind of the "budget sisters" of vw cars. French cars have not really been present in the US in a long time so no wonder you don't know things like Peugot or Renault if you don't follow any sort of international motorsports at least. Smart fortwo's are sold in the US tho, so you maybe should have known about them. Btw, the Chevy T series is a chevy badged Izuzu D-Max and is more size comparable to a Hilux/Tacoma. quite a bit smaller than a F150
This video shows percentage of all new cars sold not all cars in the country. The most popular car model in Estonia is Volkswagen Passat but nowadays the most sold model is Toyota RAV4
The rest of the world values more fuel efficient cars. Pickup trucks tend to be only bought by tradesmen and farmers. Australia and New Zealand tend to have lots of pickup trucks because of the sheer size of their farmlands.
Big cars make sense in countries where you have to drive far and over rough terrain like the US and Australia. In Europe cities in general small cars are easier to park and they use less fuel.
VW is German (it can't be China)! Monaco is tiny! Toyota does have good cars! Italy has such tiny Streets! Norway is just different! Iraq maximum loading room for the boys! Brazil and Equador have all your American cars! Interesting, rewind, repeat! 😂 High Luxury outback cars for weekends/holidays! 👪🇦🇺
Monaco surprised me because I would have expected much more expensive cars to be most popular there ... some heavy cars from Mercedes S-class, BMW 7er or Audi for example...
Wow I didn’t thought how ignorant you were … at least this video helped you to discover brands and I hope it will invite you to discover more from each of brands you don’t know
@@damyr Thanks, I actually didn't know that ignorance has a neutral meaning in English. In German "Ignoranz" is always negative and means "lack of knowledge due to ignoring or not caring for the truth/education" so an ignorant person would be someone who is willingly uneducated bc they think they know it better themselves. I guess I just was ignorant about that language difference.
4:20 - Renault, ex tank manufacturer during ww1 and ww2 (creator of the father of modern tank the renault FT also called FT.17) produce french cars since their creation around 1895)
Škoda is an old Czech machinery, weapons and car brand, now belonging to the Volkswagen group. Peugeot and Renault are classical French car brands now belonging to the Stellantis group. Dacia (old Latin name of Romania) is a Romanian car brand building affordable cars with older technic belonging to Renault (Stellantis) Smart is a car designed by Swatch (yes, the watch company!) with Mercedes-Benz, produced by Mercedes until 2022 and now by a joint venture of Mercedes and Geely (Chinese) in China. Vauxhall is a British car brand that belonged to GM for a long time and was sold to Stellantis. Lada is a Russian car brand, originally building Fiat cars in Russia. Seat is a Spanish car brand, originally building Fiat cars in Spain, now belonging to the Volkswagen group.
Austria wasn’t included but ours is VW as a brand (15%) but the single most bought car was the Skoda Octavia. We owned one for quite some time, amazing car. Had to switch to an automatic car after my paraplegia and bought a VW Sharan. Love it and can recommend it to anyone!
The Nissan Qashqai (CASH KY)( as in sky)is very popular in the UK. M son drives one. The DACIA ( DAY SEE UH) is a low priced car that is powered by RENAULT engines. HILUX = HIGH LUX. RENAULT= REN O. What you call TINY cars are family sized cars everywhere else !
Ryan, my VW-GOLF diesel is the most practical and the most fun to drive car since my PORSCHE 356B. It has a huge cargo carrying capacity (inside not out in the open like a pickup truck). I carry my sailing dinghy on the roof rack, and tow my 15 foot sailboat at 70 MPH down the Interstate to Florida or to Maine. I can load 10 foot long lumber inside the car by folding the passenger seat back flat. I get 40 MPG on the highway - and diesel fuel is always available. I can buy two VW-GOLFs for the price of one FORD F150. Small is beautiful!!!
In the US the fuel is immensely subsidised and the roads are vast - thus encouraging the use of massive, inefficient vehicles (hence why it was the only place where you really got automatic transmission as standard until the past couple of decades). In most of the world, Europe in particular, fuel is heavily taxed (as are vehicles in general) in order to encourage people to walk, cycle, use public transport, etc. in order to cut pollution and congestion. As a result, smaller and more efficient vehicles are far more economically appealing, as well as simply being more practical when going along narrow roads that dominate the countryside.
When he pronounced Monaco as Manako ; I died. Well give the guy a break he is at least learning. Its like watching "villagers eat a burger for the first time" videos =D
Peugeot is actually a quite old French company. The "eu" in the first syllable is pronounced like the "ea" in "early". The "g" is a voiced "zh" sound. The "eo" sounds like the "o" in "over" just a bit longer. And the final "t" isn't pronounced at all. In syllables it's Peu- geot with the second syllable emphasized stronger than the first one.
There are about 110 car brands, each with its own model. I know most of the ones I saw in the video because we have the port here in our city and several thousand cars are exported and imported there every day all over the world. American brands also drive here, because in the past the Americans were stationed here and needed vehicles. There is even an importer who converts the American cars to EU standards.
Many of these cars are the same models just with a different badge as they are are owned by a parent company, part of a conglomerate or just share technology to keep the costs down. You mentioned Skoda, all part of Volkswagen AG, along with Seat, Audi, Bently and many others. So the chasis of a Golf could be the same as on an Audi A3. At least that was the case.
2:05 The N-Box is extremely easy to park because of how tiny it is. You might also be forced to buy one by the government if you don't have a big parking space
Dacia is a sub-brand of Renault, meanwhile extremely successful in the low budget segment, the vehicles are available from around €10k, which is extremely cheap for a new car. especially the dacia duster, a small suv is selling incredibly well in europe
Dacia brand car started the life in the comunist Romania of Ceaușescu, later in the 20 was bought by French Renault group, Dacia is branded as a Renault in some countries around the world, Dacia is a reliable budget car, they have the suv named Duster that is very popular in Europe and not only.
Nope, GM sold Opel (sold models sold as Saturn in the US) and its daughter brand Vauxhall to PSA in 2017. PSA (Peugeot Citroen) and FCA (Fiat Chrysler) merged in 2021 to form Stellantis (which has its seat in the Netherlands) with its brands Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Abarth, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM Trucks.
you got it wrong, vauxhall nowadays only makes opel rebrands, vauxhall doesnt go under the opel name in other countries. opel goes under the vauxhall name in some countries. vauxhall made SOME small series runs before it was aquired by gm, thats about it. in the earliest 70s they stopped making their own cars and started being a licensed manufacturer for opel.
The Vauxhall brand is now only used in the UK. Everywhere else, including Ireland which also drives on the left, it's Opel. The last Vauxhall to be fully designed in the UK was the Viva HC which ended production in 1979. Nowadays, since the Astra stopped being made in Ellesmere Port, no Vauxhall badged car is built in the UK. And GM sold Opel/Vauxhall to PSA in 2017 and is now part of Stellantis, following the merger of PSA and Fiat-Chrysler.
In the UK if people own land or they do activities or jobs that need a lot of equipment or require trailers to be towed they might have SUVs or estate cars. Then there's people who get the the more upmarket ones for image, as even secondhand they can be expensive, but they want to appear like 'country gentry' types. There was a fashion for rich people in posh parts of London, who rarely saw a field, to have cars like this, so they gained the nickname 'Chelsea Tractors.' You don't tend to see hummers or anything of that size, they wouldn't fit on our roads. I can see the practicalities of why Australians, Americans and New Zealanders have these types of vechiles - the huge distances that Americans and Aussies could be driving,and the outdoor lifestyles in Australia and New Zealand. Are cars and petrol cheap in Australia and New Zealand?
My experience with Americans is they're just like this guy, polite, pleasant and nice people, that's literally most Americans I've met. It always comes as a bit of a surprise considering their reputation for being loud and obnoxious, but I keep meeting people like him. Goes to show: don't trust stereotypes. Even the geography thing, it depends on the person, I've met Americans who knew more about my own country than me. It just happened to be in their interests to read about other places.
In Europe F150 is counted as trucks not cars, so they would not be in the list even if they was top selling. For instance in Iceland pickups are really common, even more so than usa...

It was just a quick way for Ryan to find out about those by looking up 2 names rather than all of them 1 by 1.besides the massive investments from a large group does make a difference.

Long large cars could never go through the streets of my village centre. I have a Nissan Micra (2018 version) and sometimes it s tricky when people aren t parked well *lolol*. Peugeot and Renault are old brands from France. Made some of the first cars in the country. They have bought out some other car builders.
Finland wasn't in the list, but Toyota Corolla has been the most popular car here for the past 40 years or so. I don't know what the percentages are, but I wouldn't think that any single brand dominates the market here. Lada originates from the Soviet Union. During my childhood in the 1970s/80s there were a lot of them also here in Finland, mainly because they were really cheap compared to Western cars. The downside was that quality control in Soviet Russia wasn't very good, so there was no way to know for sure if you'd get a good specimen or not. Some Ladas lasted a lifetime, some were broken all the time. They were mainly bought by people who liked tinkering with cars and knew how to fix them. Nowadays only some collectors have those old Ladas; they keep them clean and shiny just like people who collect classic American cars.
Lada is a Russian car firm so of course it's selling well in Russia and Belarus. That'd be the sanctions lol. And that no other country on the planet is going to want a Lada.
In the post Communist Romania, there were a lots of Trabants. My dad had one, and he used it even in the 2010's. Once the car door next to my father broke, and fell off. H tied it back with a rope, until he had the money to take his car to a mechanic. XD
Peugeout is a French Brand, very stylish. Dacia is a brand from Romania, but works together with Renault, another French brand, so the technic of Dacia is good, but a few years outdated, but at all, very cheap with sufficient quality. Vauxhall is the British Version of Opel. You don't know Opel either? It is a German Brand and competitor to Volkswagen, but has been bought by Chrysler, and the PSA (French) and then they came together to Stellantis. Lada is a Russian brand. Skoda is a Czech Brand, now belongs to Volkswagen. And small streets, small cars, like in Japan and Monaco. Why would you need bigger cars, when there is public transport all around.
Dacia is from Romania and a subsidiary of Renault, which is in a "strategic alliance" with Nissan-Mitsubishi. Together they were the fourth biggest car manufacturing company, after Volkswagen (subsidiaries are Audi, Prorsche, Lamborghini, Ducati, Seat, Cupra, Skoda, Bentley, MAN, Scania, Bugatti and some others), Toyota (with Daihatsu and some others) and General Motors (Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Daewoo; Opel and Vauxhall were sold in 2017 to PSA) before PSA (Peugeot, Citroën, DS) merged in 2021 with Fiat Chrysler (Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) to Stellantis N.V., Amsterdam.

I'm actually more shocked that apparently half of the biggest car brands in the world aren't known at all in the USA. I knew all of those brands except maybe 2 or 3 (like the Iran one??). But Honda, Renault, Peugeot... these are big ass brands. Maybe not as big as VW but still pretty big.
The US has strictly-enforced but not always beneficial laws on construction of automobiles. For the numbers sold, compliance to these laws and the need for a large, in-place dealer network with trained mechanics, many European manufacturers can't be bothered. Look at any US-spec Citroën DS or SM, Renault 5, Peugeot 504, and compare them to the Euro versions and you'll see that the Americans butcher many beautiful designs, same with the E-type Jag.
He knew honda though
Me too, I would not guessed that these brands aren't even known. Seems they have still lot of potential in the world to sell more I guess :D
Dacia is a Romaninan Car Brand, that belongs to the French Renault. They are good cars, in the cheaper segment. I have one. 10 years, and never have had a problem. Lada is an Russian brand, and Skoda belongs to VW, and is a Czech car.
A few years back, in deep south Texas, I saw a Dacia Duster badged as a Renault Duster. Had Nuevo Leon plates on it, so came from Mexico.
@@JohnZonneveld Yep, Duster Logan and Sandero are marketed under the Renault brand name in America, Turkey and in some other countries.
@@JohnZonneveld , possibly from Medellin Colombia (I lived there), they have the big Renault Plant there.
What struck me was that he had difficulty pronouncing the names of some of the countries, I can understand the cars he may never have seen them before but he usually comes across as a pretty well educated guy ( for an American) and yet some of the country’s trough him, go figure as they say😊
Yeah, like Monaco. It isn't even hard to pronounce.
@@ivylasangrienta6093 or that he didnt knew Renault. like, come on.
edit: like, i can imagine fiat or a smart may be actually very europe or maybe even asia specific just because its made to fit tightest parking spots and in america its the exact opposite. so even though i'd be like wtf you dont know that? i kinda get it. but renault??
@@zero.Identity Renault isn't sold in America and it isn't pronounced phonetically. How is that surprising to you???
@@TheIceMurder2 the fuck? nobody, literally nobody asked for you. nor did ANYBODY say anything about the pronounciation?
That pronunciation of Iraq will always offend me.
Renault and Peugeot are French. They kind of pioneered the concept of compact cars.
Dacia is Romanian but owend by Renault. It operates like a budget brand.
Skoda is from Czechia and part of the VW Group. It's similar to Volkswagen but more budget oriented.
Seat (Spanish) is another Volkswagen brand. This one is focused on more modern design/lifestyle.
Fiat is Italian. The brand changed owners a few times. I think it's with Peugeot these days.
Volvo is from Sweden, so it makes sense it's popular there. I think they are owned by Chinese Investors though.
Yep Volvo are now a subsidiary of Geely who also own Polestar, Lynk and Co, Lotus, Zeekr, Smart, LEVC and some others
VW is Volkwagen pronounced " folksvagen" meaning peoples wagon - German. Peugeot is French and is pronounced " perjow" with a soft j. Your pronunciations had me in stitches!
Possibly splitting hairs but volk does refer more to the nation rather than people, ie Volkswagen is the vehicle for the whole nation…
also Dacia is not dakia but similar to dutch-a

@@solaccursio I can assure you it's Dat-sha.
My wife is Romanian. . . . . . . . . . . .
Dacia is the Roman Empire era name for what we now call Romania.
It was centered on Transylvania, stretching to the Danube in the south, the Black Sea in the east, and the Tisza in the west. The Carpathian Mountains were located in the middle of Dacia. It thus roughly corresponds to the present-day countries of Romania, as well as parts of Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
Not called Romania until 1862 !!!!
I'm sure it's pronounced WolksVagen because in the German alphabet v and w are swapped so v is spoken as w and w is spoken as a v
Dacia is a Romanian car brand owned by Renaut(France) that sells affordable cars on the 14.000$ to 20.000$ price range, depending on model and extras.
I just bought a brand new Dacia Sandero 65hp with no extras for around 14.000$! It is the text book deffinition of "just enough, nothing more".

That reaction was more of an insight on American education than anything else. Absolutely shocking.
It's not matter of education, it's simply the US vs the international market.
Of course, Americans don't know about European brands which are not for sale in the US, but we Europeans I don't really know about many American brands, even if we have heard the name. But the models? Well, Ford is very popular even in Europe. There is that big Ford factory in Cologne (Köln), and another one in Britain. We Europeans know certain US brands, but individual models like the Neon, brands like Pontiac? No.
European education systems spend time teaching students car brands from around the world...??? Sounds like a massive waste of time promoted by a bunch of "EviL CoRpOrAtiOns". Maybe you all are just brainwashed then?
Yes we shouldn't be expected to know everything in the world. Just like most people outside of the US are wildly ignorant to it
Vauxhall is Opel😉, Lada is an old Russian carbrand. My dad had several and they looked like square tins, but never had problems...

Lada Niva 4x4 is best SUV ever.
My uncle had a Lada too, we laughed at it but he kept it is many years without any prob...and not the same with famous brand in Eu...we don t laugh anymore
I used to have Lada back in the 90s. It was a shed, but it never broke down. I used it to carry building materials. Oce tied a 10 foot I beam to the roof, added another dent to the car 😂
My friend had an old Lada.niva car.. When he was travelling in it around the middle east some 20 years ago, everybody wanted to buy it from him because it was reliable, easy to fix "donkey".
@@erurainon6842 A lada Niva is hardly an S(port) in the SUV part, it's an all-terrain vehicle and that's it, in fact that's good because if it was made with the suv philosophy it would be a piece of shit offroader.

Skoda (Czech brand, today under Volkswagen concern) is very popular in Central Europe (Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary) and somewhat popular in other countries like Germany.
Btw, it's Škoda with diacritics, pronounced as Shkoda. It is the name of the founder (not really, but it's complicated) and literally means pity/shame or damage in Czech (Slovak too).
Here in
Portugal there are Skoda cars too.
Škoda probably means pity/shame/damage in many if not all Slavic languages.

Hyundai is the world's third-largest carmaker, behind Toyota and Volkswagen. Well according to Wikipedia, it is.
I you looked at the total number of Tesla cars in Norway, not just the quite new Tesla 3, the numbers would have been much higher. EVs make up more then 50% of all new privat car sales.

And how about Norway? The most intricate landscape and roads in the western, but still the MOST eco-friendly, in general.

Welcome to Norway.
Well, it's a very wealthy and very progressive country, so Tesla wasn't a surprise.

Pickups are extremely popular in Canada also. I don't know who put this video together, but from what I've heard, the Ford F-150 had been the biggest selling vehicle here for years. Cross the border and you'll see as many pickups on the road as you do in the US, especially in smaller cities and rural areas.

VW stands for volskwagen. Peugeot and fiat are in the "stellantis" conglomerate together with Chrysler.
Ford is now (!) advertising the F-150 even in Germany. Generally, in Germany we consider cars like the if F-150 is totally failed by concept as they are way oversized and way too fuel-hungry. Since car taxes are based on Engine displacement in Germany and fuel taxes are high as well, owning an F-150 will quite quickly become costly in Germany. But an F-150 is not a cheap car anyway.
The German equivalent of this type of "family tanks" ( in German: "Familien-Panzer") would be the Mercedes GL.
In theTop Gear episode about the London race they named the Mercedes GL as "the chelsea'est of all the Chelsea tractors"😂 (its on youtube)
The term "Familenpanzer" was coined by our great German humorist "Loriot": he made cartoons about oversized, heavy cars by showing a family doing their sunday afternoon trip in an army tank. The model was named "Susi II" 😂
btw where's Citroën nowadays?
Dacia (Romanian, under Renault) is popular in Romania and Bulgaria. Btw, Dacia is basically the name of the ancient Romania.
Dacia cars are also quite popular in France as well (good car with attractive price)

Ryan I think you'll find the top selling vehicle in Australia isn't a Toyota helix, but a Toyota hi lux.
Also, btw, Skoda is a part of the VW group so they are kind of the "budget sisters" of vw cars.
French cars have not really been present in the US in a long time so no wonder you don't know things like Peugot or Renault if you don't follow any sort of international motorsports at least.
Smart fortwo's are sold in the US tho, so you maybe should have known about them.
Btw, the Chevy T series is a chevy badged Izuzu D-Max and is more size comparable to a Hilux/Tacoma. quite a bit smaller than a F150
This video shows percentage of all new cars sold not all cars in the country. The most popular car model in Estonia is Volkswagen Passat but nowadays the most sold model is Toyota RAV4
Renault Clio in Portugal? Yep they're everywhere!
The rest of the world values more fuel efficient cars.
Pickup trucks tend to be only bought by tradesmen and farmers.
Australia and New Zealand tend to have lots of pickup trucks because of the sheer size of their farmlands.
Big cars make sense in countries where you have to drive far and over rough terrain like the US and Australia. In Europe cities in general small cars are easier to park and they use less fuel.
Don't make s3nse there either though. It is just more convenient to indulge without many of the negative side effects.

Ryan, my VW-GOLF diesel is the most practical and the most fun to drive car since my PORSCHE 356B. It has a huge cargo carrying capacity (inside not out in the open like a pickup truck). I carry my sailing dinghy on the roof rack, and tow my 15 foot sailboat at 70 MPH down the Interstate to Florida or to Maine. I can load 10 foot long lumber inside the car by folding the passenger seat back flat. I get 40 MPG on the highway - and diesel fuel is always available. I can buy two VW-GOLFs for the price of one FORD F150. Small is beautiful!!!
In the US the fuel is immensely subsidised and the roads are vast - thus encouraging the use of massive, inefficient vehicles (hence why it was the only place where you really got automatic transmission as standard until the past couple of decades). In most of the world, Europe in particular, fuel is heavily taxed (as are vehicles in general) in order to encourage people to walk, cycle, use public transport, etc. in order to cut pollution and congestion. As a result, smaller and more efficient vehicles are far more economically appealing, as well as simply being more practical when going along narrow roads that dominate the countryside.
I live in Norway, in the middle of the woods. We have a Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7, a Honda CR-V and a biiig Toyota Hi-Lux. :)
Ummm, a Toyota "He-licks"? As an Aussie I can assure you it's a "High-lux" (i.e. high luxury)!

There are about 110 car brands, each with its own model. I know most of the ones I saw in the video because we have the port here in our city and several thousand cars are exported and imported there every day all over the world. American brands also drive here, because in the past the Americans were stationed here and needed vehicles. There is even an importer who converts the American cars to EU standards.
Im not suprissed by Iraq. It can be easily mounted by a weapon so its often car of choice :D...(Its fun because its true:D)
Many of these cars are the same models just with a different badge as they are are owned by a parent company, part of a conglomerate or just share technology to keep the costs down. You mentioned Skoda, all part of Volkswagen AG, along with Seat, Audi, Bently and many others. So the chasis of a Golf could be the same as on an Audi A3. At least that was the case.
2:05 The N-Box is extremely easy to park because of how tiny it is. You might also be forced to buy one by the government if you don't have a big parking space
Dacia is a sub-brand of Renault, meanwhile extremely successful in the low budget segment, the vehicles are available from around €10k, which is extremely cheap for a new car. especially the dacia duster, a small suv is selling incredibly well in europe
Dacia brand car started the life in the comunist Romania of Ceaușescu, later in the 20 was bought by French Renault group, Dacia is branded as a Renault in some countries around the world, Dacia is a reliable budget car, they have the suv named Duster that is very popular in Europe and not only.
1:26: Vauxhall is the UK version of Opel. Hence the Vauxhall Corsa is the same as an Opel Corsa.
Wasn't germany in that list ? So far i found the most popular model is VW Golf and the percentage is maybe 9.7% if i get that right.
Vauxhall is owned by General Motors.
They go under the Opel badge in parts of Europe
Nope, GM sold Opel (sold models sold as Saturn in the US) and its daughter brand Vauxhall to PSA in 2017. PSA (Peugeot Citroen) and FCA (Fiat Chrysler) merged in 2021 to form Stellantis (which has its seat in the Netherlands) with its brands Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Abarth, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM Trucks.
you got it wrong, vauxhall nowadays only makes opel rebrands, vauxhall doesnt go under the opel name in other countries. opel goes under the vauxhall name in some countries. vauxhall made SOME small series runs before it was aquired by gm, thats about it. in the earliest 70s they stopped making their own cars and started being a licensed manufacturer for opel.
The Vauxhall brand is now only used in the UK. Everywhere else, including Ireland which also drives on the left, it's Opel. The last Vauxhall to be fully designed in the UK was the Viva HC which ended production in 1979. Nowadays, since the Astra stopped being made in Ellesmere Port, no Vauxhall badged car is built in the UK. And GM sold Opel/Vauxhall to PSA in 2017 and is now part of Stellantis, following the merger of PSA and Fiat-Chrysler.

In the UK if people own land or they do activities or jobs that need a lot of equipment or require trailers to be towed they might have SUVs or estate cars. Then there's people who get the the more upmarket ones for image, as even secondhand they can be expensive, but they want to appear like 'country gentry' types. There was a fashion for rich people in posh parts of London, who rarely saw a field, to have cars like this, so they gained the nickname 'Chelsea Tractors.' You don't tend to see hummers or anything of that size, they wouldn't fit on our roads. I can see the practicalities of why Australians, Americans and New Zealanders have these types of vechiles - the huge distances that Americans and Aussies could be driving,and the outdoor lifestyles in Australia and New Zealand. Are cars and petrol cheap in Australia and New Zealand?
Wanted to watch but really you can't compare if you don't know cars.
Vauxhall is merely a different brand name for Opel, it's (I think) only used in the UK.
The T-Series is definitely NOT bigger than an F150
VW have a plant in China and 16 subsidiaries, been there for years.
The Fiat Panda in Italy is not a car, but a state of mind.

My experience with Americans is they're just like this guy, polite, pleasant and nice people, that's literally most Americans I've met. It always comes as a bit of a surprise considering their reputation for being loud and obnoxious, but I keep meeting people like him. Goes to show: don't trust stereotypes. Even the geography thing, it depends on the person, I've met Americans who knew more about my own country than me. It just happened to be in their interests to read about other places.
Don't be fooled! Ryan is a very rare US individual in his curiosity and humility! He's fairly isolated from big city brainwashing and mass hysteria!
Tesla was actually the most sold brand in Norway in 2022.
In Europe F150 is counted as trucks not cars, so they would not be in the list even if they was top selling. For instance in Iceland pickups are really common, even more so than usa...

Peugeot and Renault are old brands from France. Made some of the first cars in the country. They have bought out some other car builders.
The Vauxhall Corsa is a very popular car in the U.K.
Finland wasn't in the list, but Toyota Corolla has been the most popular car here for the past 40 years or so. I don't know what the percentages are, but I wouldn't think that any single brand dominates the market here.
Lada originates from the Soviet Union. During my childhood in the 1970s/80s there were a lot of them also here in Finland, mainly because they were really cheap compared to Western cars. The downside was that quality control in Soviet Russia wasn't very good, so there was no way to know for sure if you'd get a good specimen or not. Some Ladas lasted a lifetime, some were broken all the time. They were mainly bought by people who liked tinkering with cars and knew how to fix them. Nowadays only some collectors have those old Ladas; they keep them clean and shiny just like people who collect classic American cars.
Lada is a Russian car firm so of course it's selling well in Russia and Belarus. That'd be the sanctions lol. And that no other country on the planet is going to want a Lada.
In the post Communist Romania, there were a lots of Trabants. My dad had one, and he used it even in the 2010's. Once the car door next to my father broke, and fell off. H tied it back with a rope, until he had the money to take his car to a mechanic. XD
Peugeout is a French Brand, very stylish.
Dacia is a brand from Romania, but works together with Renault, another French brand, so the technic of Dacia is good, but a few years outdated, but at all, very cheap with sufficient quality.
Vauxhall is the British Version of Opel. You don't know Opel either? It is a German Brand and competitor to Volkswagen, but has been bought by Chrysler, and the PSA (French) and then they came together to Stellantis.
Lada is a Russian brand.
Skoda is a Czech Brand, now belongs to Volkswagen.

Dacia is from Romania and a subsidiary of Renault, which is in a "strategic alliance" with Nissan-Mitsubishi. Together they were the fourth biggest car manufacturing company, after Volkswagen (subsidiaries are Audi, Prorsche, Lamborghini, Ducati, Seat, Cupra, Skoda, Bentley, MAN, Scania, Bugatti and some others), Toyota (with Daihatsu and some others) and General Motors (Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Daewoo; Opel and Vauxhall were sold in 2017 to PSA) before PSA (Peugeot, Citroën, DS) merged in 2021 with Fiat Chrysler (Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) to Stellantis N.V., Amsterdam.
