Yamaha

Yamaha once produced a wide range of cars and motorcycles, though it was announced in 2019 that all Yamaha cars would be discontinued. Today, Yamaha is best known for its motorcycles, but you’ll also find its name on ATVs, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, boat engines, recreational off-highway vehicles, and even golf cars.
