Bleeker The following charts depict each auto manufacturer's share of models in the 2006 updates of the annual best cars and trucks tables. The next chart depicts the fractional shares, for each model year, of the best cars and trucks held by Toyota Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Company. The next chart depicts the extrapolation of these shares to 2008, a linear regression of degree one. This last chart suggests that by 2008 Toyota may achieve a very considerable dominance of the best vehicles sold in North America. The following charts depict each auto manufacturer's share of models in the 2006 updates of the annual worst cars and trucks tables. The shares of General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and DaimlerChrysler AG include the models from their European lines (GM's Saab, Ford's Volvo, Jaguar, and Land Rover, and DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes-Benz). The next chart depicts the fractional shares, for each model year, of the worst cars and trucks held by General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and DaimlerChrysler AG, with European lines included (GM's Saab, Ford's Volvo, Jaguar, and Land Rover, and DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes-Benz). The next chart provides an extrapolation of these fractional shares to 2008, again a linear regression of degree one. From the above extrapolations, it may be seen that over the sixteen-year history of the worst motor vehicle models, by Reliability Percentrank, Ford's and Chrysler's shares of the worst are declining, while General Motors' share is increasing. Also, note that GM's share of the worst  showed a solid increase in 2003; this drop in quality may reflect the cutting edge of the worsening financial circumstances of GM and most of its supplier base. To view the charts of the Big Three fractional shares without the European lines, see Summary of Best and Worst Tables. The following charts depict the percentage contribution that each of GM's lines made to GM's totals in the 2006 updates of the tables of worst cars and trucks of model years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.
