Default astonishing global car manufacturing stats

snippet: this year the world will produce over 60 million cars, and 1 in 4 of those is made in china. more than twice as many cars are made in japan as in the u.s. but when you add in trucks, they're very similar.*

Where does one draw the line between a car and a truck? That question, of course, has been debated for the last few decades.

Agreed. But many car-based unibody SUVs and crossover-wagons more or less straddle the line between cars and trucks.
