The company was sold to Ford at 1999 and to Chinese holding company at 2010. And Renault owns Dacia and parts of Nissan and Mitsubishi. Citroen was owned by Peugeot and they merged with Fiat Chrysler automotive to Stellantis group who own a buttload of brands (Fiat, Jeep, Opel, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler....)

So if you really want to stick on purely European you need to look for MB, VW or BMW.
