There are errors in your example code. Leaving the issue of suitability
of having list headers appear in the document outline aside for the sake
of discussing sectioning nested lists, the way to do what you want would
be the following:

<h1>Car and Bicycle Brands</h1>
<ul>Car
   <li>Nissan</li>
   <li>Jaguar</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bicycle</h2>
<ul>
   <li><h3>Road Bikes</h3>
      <ul>
         <li>Raleigh</li>
         <li>Scott</li>
      </ul></li>
   <li><h3>Mountain Bikes</h3>
      <ul>
         <li>Specialized</li>
      </ul></li>
</ul>
