Colombia has a low ratio of car ownership, yet suffers traffic jams. It seems the problem is an under developed road system. The government would like to restrict car ownership through auctioning registration plates Singapore style. That won't take cars off the road, but rather increase the age of cars in use. Improving roading is expensive though.
As for car sales, GM has always been top here (that I know of), and 1 in 3 cars is a hefty share of the market. It has been consistently so for years as well.
