SOURCE
I think this article needs to cite the sources - I do not doubt the info is authentic, but the reader needs a source to fall back on - even if it is under subscription-only access (I assume most of this comes from AutoNews). Iholas 01:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. What about 2006 y 2007. How are in the last survey the major carmakers ?. I think this all has greatly changed. --Mac (talk) 07:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Production Figures and Automotive Industry
Why does this article list production figures from 2005? What about 2006? 2007? 2008? And where is the general overview of the actual industry in the United States? Information about each automaker, both foreign and domestic; including truck makers and minor companies? What about the history of automobiles in the US? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.143.201 (talk) 16:51, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Why does it also list DaimlerChrysler, and not Daimler and Chrysler? They are two separate companies now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.143.201 (talk) 14:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * How about merging this article with the Canadian motor industry into Automotive industry in North America? Since Canada's industry is similar to, if not an overlapping of the US industry. JosefBranson 12:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * @JosefBranson darn good idea Jeff! 97.136.8.108 (talk) 20:25, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Here's and example of what Automotive industry in North America could look like:

This article is terrible
Considering the subject matter, this might be the worst article on Wikipedia. The Automotive Industry in the united states has a long and storied history. It is also so closely intertwined with national and global economics and policy that some mention should be made to these subjects. This article deserves more than a list of who the players in the Automotive Industry are... this should serve as an overview of the whole subject, including the past and present. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.156.105.171 (talk) 12:55, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Here is a report I found. It is from the library of congress, should be of some use in updating this article. Not sure about its licensing, and whether we can copy and paste some content from it or not? Aizuku (talk) 12:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

1970s
I've edited the article so that it mentions the car that Chrysler imported from Mitsubishi Motors was the Dodge Colt (essentially a federalized Mitsubishi Galant) and the car they imported from their affiliated Rootes Group was a federalized Hillman Avenger renamed the Plymouth Cricket (in the article, I pipe-linked "Plymouth Cricket" to "Hillman Avenger": as in Plymouth Cricket, with the non-piped link being a disambiguation page). The claim "had to make do with" appears to have come from a source, because I read an article from some automotive magazine stating that Chrysler couldn't afford to engineer its own car at the time or such. And unfortunately, I can't remember the source, and even if I could, I'm not sure how reliable it would be by Wikipedia standards.--2601:153:800:8308:2C9A:2F04:2631:9FEA (talk) 04:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Outdated
I feel this article is a bit outdated as its only mention of Tesla (world's most valuable car company) is just only a sentence long in the introduction. 144.91.243.106 (talk) 22:32, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
