A proposed list of things that should happen ITTL's auto industry:
* Ford forming an official alliance with Volkswagen (instead of Ernest R. Breech desperately wanting to merge Volkswagen into Ford) in 1948 (With the added bonus of Ford/Lincoln/Mercury downsizing their cars ever since the birth of their official alliance with Volkswagen in 1948). And Ford never selling it's controlling interests in the European businesses to Ford Dearborn in 1950 (With the added bonus of Ford Britain, Ford Ireland, Ford Germany, Ford France, Ford Italy, and Ford Netherlands integrating with each other to form "Ford Europe" in 1950 instead of 1967. As well as Ford having the privilege to market the Lincoln brand over in Europe and the European colonies to compete against Mercedes-Benz).
* The Rover Company, the Nuffield Organization (Wolseley Motors/Riley Motors/Morris Motors/MG (Morris Garages)/Morris Commercial Cars) and the Austin Motor Company merging together into one singular auto conglomerate known as "BMC (British Motor Corporation)" as part of industrial re-organizations post-war (Instead of during the 1950s) (With the Nuffield Organization saleing Riley Motors to Singer Motors). Triumph never saleing it's motorcycle division to BSA in 1951. And Nissan forming an official alliance with BMC when Nissan expanded to the UK (Mainly due to the fact that Nissan had an official partnership with the Austin Motor Company).
* Hudson and Nash merging together into one singular brand known as "AMC (American Motors Corporation)" as part of industrial re-organizations post-war (Instead of during the 1950s). AMC's plans to make Packard and Studebaker officially become a part of AMC becoming a success (with the added bonuses of AMC completely turning Packard into a serious competitor against Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz, and AMC completely turning Studebaker into a serious competitor against Buick). Renault forming an official alliance with AMC in 1961 instead of 1978 (With the added bonuses of AMC/Packard/Studebaker downsizing their cars ever since the birth of their official alliance with Renault in 1961, Renault having the privilege to market the AMC brand's entire model line-up over in Europe and the European colonies under the Renault marque, and Renault having the privilege to market the Packard brand and the Jeep brand over in Europe and the European colonies with Renault using Packard to compete against Mercedes-Benz, and Renault using Jeep to compete against Land Rover/Range Rover). Mitsubishi Motors/Mitsubishi-Fuso Trucks & Buses forming an official alliance with AMC-Renault (instead of Dodge-Chrysler) in 1970 (Because seeing how Kaiser-Willys/Kaiser-Jeep merged into AMC in 1970, and Mitsubishi used to have a partnership with Kaiser-Willys/Kaiser-Jeep back in the 1950s and the 1960s, I thought it would be appropriate to re-unite Mitsubishi with Jeep when Kaiser-Willys/Kaiser-Jeep merged into AMC in 1970). And Georges Besse thankfully never getting assassinated by Action Directe (Which eventually lead to Renault completely buying up the remaining shares of AMC, resulting in AMC to get officially renamed as "Renault USA", and Jeep and Packard becoming official subsidiaries of Renault).
* Peugeot and Citroën merging together to become "Peugeot-Citroën" as part of industrial re-organizations post-war (Instead of during the Oil Crisis of 1973–1974) (With Citroën saleing Berliet to Peugeot's arch-rival Renault due to Peugeot never being interested in heavy commercial vehicles). The Borgward Group (Borgward/Lloyd/Goliath) getting officially acquired by Dodge-Chrysler in 1960 (Which later lead to the Borgward Group getting completely taken-over by Dodge-Chrysler and it's European subsidiarity Simca in 1963). International-Harvester getting bought by Dodge-Chrysler in 1966 (Because hey! Seeing how International-Harvester's Latin American divisions got bought by Dodge-Chrysler in 1966. Why not complete the prophecy by making International-Harvester themselves get completely bought by Dodge-Chrysler?). Peugeot-Citroën forming an official alliance with Dodge-Chrysler (appropriately named the "PSA-Chrysler Alliance") in 1970. Alfa Romeo becoming an official subsidiarity of FIAT during the Oil Crisis of 1973–1974. And the FIAT Group (FIAT/Lancia/Alfa Romeo/Ferrari/SEAT) officially becoming a part of the PSA-Chrysler Alliance (Peugeot-Citroën's official alliance with Dodge-Chrysler) in 1978 (Instead of the FIAT Group (FIAT/Lancia/Alfa Romeo/Ferrari/SEAT) forming an official partnership with Saab-Scania in 1978).
* Mack Trucks becoming an official subsidiarity of Volvo during the Oil Crisis of 1973–1974. The Saab-Scania Group (Saab Aircraft/Saab Automobile/Scania) getting bought by AMC-Renault during the Oil Crisis of 1973–1974 (Instead of Volvo desperately trying to combine operations with it's arch-rival Saab-Scania in 1977) (Because let's be perfectly honest here, Saab getting bought by General Motors was what lead to the death of Saab as we knew it). And Volvo never selling it's entire passenger car line-up to Ford, as Volvo was much more dedicated to being Scandinavia's answer to Mercedes-Benz/Daimler Trucks by concentrating on both luxury cars AND commercial vehicles (Because let's be perfectly honest here, Volvo selling it's entire passenger car line-up to Ford was what lead to the death of Volvo as we knew it).
* The Eastern-Bloc countries' auto manufacturers who had partnerships with the Western-Bloc countries' auto manufacturers getting completely taken-over and destroyed by the Western-Bloc countries' auto manufacturers during the end of the Cold War and the Democratization of Central and Eastern Europe, with the following events:
** FSM (Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych), FSO (Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych), and AvtoVAZ/Lada getting completely taken-over and destroyed by FIAT (with FSM, FSO, and AvtoVAZ/Lada's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the FIAT marque).
** EMW (Eisenacher Motoren-Werk)/Wartburg getting completely taken-over and destroyed by BMW (with EMW/Wartburg's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the BMW marque).
** Sachsenring/Trabant getting completely taken-over and destroyed by Audi (with Sachsenring/Trabant's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Audi marque).
** Barkas getting completely taken-over and destroyed by Volkswagen (with Barkas' entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Volkswagen marque).
** IMV (Industrija Motornih Vozil), ARO (Auto Romania), and UAP (Uzina de Autoturisme Pitești)/Dacia getting completely taken-over and destroyed by Renault (with IMV, ARO, and UAP/Dacia's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Renault marque).
** Tomos/Cimos and Oltcit getting completely taken-over and destroyed by Citroën (with Tomos/Cimos and Oltcit's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Citroën marque).
* Renault's plans to merge Škoda into Renault becoming a success (with Škoda's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Renault marque).
* Rolls-Royce and Bentley getting sold to BMW instead of Volkswagen in 1998.
* Edsel (which tragically died in 1960) getting completely merged into Mercury (with the Edsel brand's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Mercury marque). And Merkur (which tragically died in 1989) and Mercury (which tragically died in 2011) getting completely merged into Lincoln (with the Merkur brand and the Mercury brand's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Lincoln marque).
* Studebaker (which tragically died in 1967) getting completely merged into Packard (with the Studebaker brand's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Packard marque).
* Imperial (which tragically died in 1983) and Plymouth (which tragically died in 2001) getting completely merged into Chrysler (with the Imperial brand and the Plymouth brand's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Chrysler marque).
* Oldsmobile (which tragically died in 2004) getting completely merged into Buick (with the Oldsmobile brand's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Buick marque). And Pontiac (which tragically died in 2010) getting completely merged into Chevrolet (with the Pontiac brand's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Chevrolet marque).
* General Motors successfully saleing Saturn (which tragically died in 2009) to Renault (with Saturn's entire model line-up, engines, staff, car designers, engineers, and car factories officially getting completely rebranded under the Renault marque).
