A brief history

Although we know that cars were created by two people called Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, it is now known that there are many different companies producing cars today. All these companies come from different parts of the world; there are companies that come from the likes of Japan, China, Britain, America, Malaysia and Europe... and others as well.

As there are so many companies, there definately has to be agents managing them such as General Motors(Chevolet and Dodge), Hong Seh Motors which manages Ferrari and Maserati in Singapore( to my knowledge) and the likes of Lamborghini and Lotus which are both managed by Eurosports.

Automobiles

An automobile or motor car is a wheeled motor vehicle for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. However, the term is far from precise because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks.
Automobile comes via the French language, from the Greek language by combining auto [self] with mobilis [moving]; meaning a vehicle that moves itself, rather than being pulled or pushed by a separate animal or another vehicle. The alternative name car is believed to originate from the Latin word carrus or carrum [wheeled vehicle], or the Middle English word carre [cart] (from Old North French), and karros; a Gallic wagon.
As of 2002, there were 590 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people).
