Over twelve months in 2010, the EU* market for new passenger cars declined by 5.5%, with a total of 13,360,599 new units registered throughout the year.

VW Group:  2,831,000
PSA:  1,805,000
Renault/Nissan:  1,777,000
GM Group:  1,166,000
Ford:  1,082,000
Fiat/Chrysler:  1,057,000
BMW:  724,000
Daimler:  651,000
Hyundai/Kia:  604,000
Toyota:  567,000

That is 10 groups selling large volumes in Europe.  It shows how diverse the European auto market is.  I would say this market will consolidate over time.  If you think about it, this is a lot of duplication of effort on the engineering front.  And then there is rationalization of the factories.
