The empire strikes back could have been the title of this article. Well, maybe overstated but US car makers took the fight to the Asian competition and did OK. Toyota was top in 2009, but went straight back to third in 2010. Hyundai's market share fell from 5.1% in 2011 to 4.4% in 2014, so that assault was blunted.

Therefore, a small victory for the US Big Three as they rationalised their brands and worked at improving the product. Some US nameplates were given the heave-ho, and those that remained became more successful. Ram was separated from Dodge and shows up here in the data as its own nameplate.

For some of the others: Saab went belly up and unsurprisingly no one wanted Maybach cars. Suzuki simply called it a day. Selling small vehicles in the USA is like pushing water uphill with a stick and Suzuki finally accepted that fact.
