Millward Brown estimated that cost of ten world’s most important automotive brands in 2016 is $ 139 900 000 000, that is, 3% less than last year. At that, the ranking leaders have only strengthened their positions, and the Dieselgate scandal critically influenced the composition of the top-10. The cost of car brands is affected not only by errors or sales success, but also by shift in youth’s preferences - from car ownership to their use in the car-sharing networks and lift-sharing services.
