Me and a friend were talking about which car companies are owned by which car companies. Half way though the conversation we were both very confused does anyone know a site or have a list of which car companies own each other?

DCX - Mercedes-Benz, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Mitsubishi (used to own part, might still)
Volkwagen - Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini

I remember seeing a layout in a magazine, it was called something like the automotive universe. It was pretty cool to see what companies GM had stake in. Someone might have posted in online. I'll see if I can find it.

SSCamaro99_3 has it pretty dead on, i'll add to GM
GM- Allison Transmission, XM radio (not sure how much), Suzuki, Direct TV (sold a few years back),Electra-Motive (Were trying to sell it not sure if they ever did), GMAC financial, AC Delco (which was merged with Hughes Aircraft), Delphi (which i think they just bought back into after selling)
Ford - Land Rover, Aston Martin

GM wholly owns Daewoo's automotive business, and owns small portions of Suzuki, Isuzu, and Subaru (used to own bigger portions of those three until recently).
GM also owns small portions of Delphi and Hughes, both of which used to be wholly owned, but were spun off years ago.
Just for clarification.

DCX: DCX which at one time held up to a 37% stake in Mitsubishi finally sold it's stock in the company last November. I believe the last joint ventures in which DCX and Mitsubishi have collaborated on is Chryslers new lineup of GEMA World Engines (which they also collaborated with Hyundai on) and the GS platform which will underpin DCXs next gen of compact and midsize cars. The following is a list of cars underpinned by GS.
2007 Dodge Caliber
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
2007 Chrysler Sebring
2007 Jeep Compass
2007 Jeep Patriot
2008 Dodge Avenger (Stratus replacement)
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
2009 Chrysler PT Crusier replacement.
In addtion to the manufacturers you listed, DCX also consists of Maybach, Smart, Freightliner, FUSO (Mitsubishi's commercial truck operations), Sterling, Western Star, Thomas, Setra and Orion. I can understand not including the commercial trucks portion but shame on you for missing Maybach and Smart. lol.
Volkswagen Group: First off, PORSCHE IS NOT OWNED BY VOLKSWAGEN. ON THE CONTRARY, PORSCHE OWNS A 25% STAKE IN VOLKWAGEN. It used to be something like 18% but they upped their stake last year to prevent a takeover. Read: PORSHCE OWNS A 25% STAKE IN VOLKSWAGEN. JUST BECAUSE THE TWO COLLABORATE ON OCCASSION IT DOESN MEAN THAT VW IS THE PARENT COMPANY. THIS IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION. The big deal is that Porsche remains one of if not the only major sports car manufacturer that is sitll independent.
Moving on, the Volkswagen Group consists of two branches, the VW branch and the Audi branch. The VW branch consists of VW, Bentley, Skoda, Bugatti and VWs commercial vehicles operations. The Audi branch consists of Audi, Lamborghini and SEAT.
BMW: BMW is the parent company of BMW MINI (not Cooper) and Rolls-Royce. Land Rover as already mentioned was bought up by Ford's PAG.
Toyota: As I mentioned, Toyota has picked up GMs stake in Subaru. Toyota also owns stake in Yamaha.
K I gotta bounce out of here for now but I'll be back to help work on this list later. Peace out guys and gals.
