I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'car manufacturer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'audi has the foremost models' is the wordplay.
'foremost' indicates taking the first letters.
'models' indicates anagramming the letters.
The first letter of 'the' is 't'.
'audi'+'has'+'t'='audihast'
'audihast' is an anagram of 'DAIHATSU'.
