    ok another clue a big one-one of the companies is vorsprung durch techniqe (that is not a direct clue but i think you got which company i am talking about) Also you might not know the names of the companies unless you have read it somewhere. because they dont exist today i think. not at all popular in 2009!so unless you have read it somwhere it is difficult to answer. the names of the companies are weird!

    I know its the AUDI!
    those four compaines formed the AUTO UNIOUN and thats why Audi has four rings which show the four companies of auto union.
    One of the company is Audi itself i think and second is VW?but am not very sure.:)

    Wow great find vibhor. Then it should be VW, like vibhor said.
    @siddhant, Are you sure that these companies are closed now? And also were they famous at those times?

    good job vibhor!AUDI was the company i was looking for.....because the other three were quite difficult to answer they are-DKW, Horch, Wanderer.The four rings which make up the Audi logo represent the four
    companies that were part of the Auto-Union Consortium in 1932. They
    were DKW, Horch, Wanderer and Audi. After the war, the Audi name (which
    in Latin means “to hear”) disappeared, but in 1965 it reappeared, using
    the four rings as its logo. The name Audi is also the Latin version of
    Horch, which in German means also “to hear”.

    Vorsprung Durch Technik is Geman translation for advancement through technology,it's like the tagline of Audi, which it has been using since early 70's i guess.
