When buying a car, drivers in the U.S. tend to prefer Asian manufacturers and the Big Three American carmakers: General Motors, Ford, and FCA. Although FCA was created through a merger between Chrysler and Fiat, the carmaker is often considered to be a U.S. company. In 2018, about 2.5 million Ford cars and almost three million General Motors vehicles were sold to customers in the United States. The most successful foreign OEM was Toyota, with sales of around two million vehicles under its Toyota brand in 2018. Tesla's electric sedans have also gained in popularity. The Californian company delivered almost a quarter million of vehicles between January and December of 2018.
