Weird that Mitsubishi isn't in that list. 

Also, it's interesting to note that Mazda, Honda, Acura, BMW, Buick, and Nissan are all within 6% of each other - basically one could consider them to be 'samesies'. 

Which is funny because Nissan has gotten a reputation over the last few years as being the 'FCA/Stellantis' of Japanese vehicles.  Which I guess is true considering they're bottom of the pack for Japanese manufacturers, but still well above the midpoint overall.

GM, Kyundai, Ford and Stellantis are all where I expected them to be.  Buick somehow is an exception?
