(I-Newswire) May 12, 2010 - Thanks to its database, the online parts finder has been able to release a ranking of the car manufacturers based on the total amount of car part requests made by the Internet users, since the launching of the website.

The statistics show that the European makes are clearly dominating, with 7 manufacturers making part of the top 10.

The British Vauxhall takes the lead with 9.16% of the total amount of requests made on the website. Then, with 9.12% of the requests, Ford almost ties with Vauxhall and takes the second position. The case of Ford is particular, as it is the only American manufacturer which obtained a significant amount of requests for spares.

As expected, the parts requests for French cars have been substantial, as the 3 manufacturers rank in the top 10. Peugeot and Renault hold the third and fourth position, with 8.2% of the requests for Peugeot, and 6.4% for Renault. As for Citroen, it takes the seventh position with about 4.2% of the requests.
