There is no denying that without cars, our lives would be much more difficult. In most places public transport is not that reliable - trains and buses often get delayed and when they do come there is no guarantee that one will even get a seat. Furthermore, public transport is limited in that it only goes to certain places which means that oftentimes when one wants to reach his or her destination he or she has to not only take the bus or the train but also walk, hitchhike or take a cab.
Indeed, most people will probably agree that cars are a necessity as opposed to a luxury. In addition to being convenient, cars also give one enormous freedom. Today we are lucky in that we can choose the perfect car from countless of car brands and car makes out there.
Some car brands have been around for over a century, others are relatively new. Some have a reputation for being innovative and reliable, others are marketed as luxurious and fast. Not all car brands and manufacturers last - some of them end up defunct. There are various reasons as to why that happens. A company's inability to read the market, its lack of innovation and fierce competition can all contribute to its liquidation. Truly impressive car brands will not fold however and those that do will be replaced by other brands.
