Cars have a special place in the hearts of all automobile enthusiasts. They usually don't differentiate between the different segments and find regular cars equally likeable as high-performance supercars. While supercars boast attractive looks, fascinating features and high speed, regular cars are more practical and suited for daily commutes. Contrastingly, luxury cars are a combination of both as they flaunt their looks, top-notch features and performance while also being practical for regular use. We all know multiple vehicles and automotive brands in all these three categories like Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Chevrolet, Ford, Renault, Skoda, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Maybach.

While almost all major economies in the world produce cars domestically, many of them don't export their cars or don't have any manufacturing plant overseas. Among the countries that dominate the automobile landscape are Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Japan. These countries either export their production to different countries or have local manufacturing plants in foreign nations. In India, carmakers like Toyota, Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Ford and Jeep have their manufacturing plants, which help them to sell their cars at low prices as domestically manufactured vehicles save them several export and import duties.
