Of course there will be other car brands whose wireless charging will work with iPhones. If your favorite car brand has Qi based charging, then you are good.
Apple has also posted a list of 2018 vehicles from specific manufacturers that have Qi based wireless chargers suitable for iPhones including GMC, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick.

The reason Apple has specified these particular models is that previous models of these cars don’t have Qi-certified wireless charging that is required by the iPhones.
Apple has also warned that not all cars will be able to support iPhone 8 Plus wireless charging due to limited area available to place the device. Apple has advised to make sure your device can be wirelessly charged before you buy your next car.
