Question: We've got cars on here that aren't listed as being sold in Japan (XJ and KK Cherokee, Ford Explorer, Cadillac Seville and Deville, and this Tigra, for examples), but I've found commercials on YT for them from Japan, could they still be listed on the closest matching page?

I think that's fine. Those cars will not be getting a separate page for Japan.

But i didnt knew we just list two different cars because one engine is not available in the USA. Thats weird.

Those were not my words, I don't agree with that. You can see my explanation in my reply to you.

I think Rinspeed can change the return button. Nevertheless, when you click it, you will find out on what page you are.

Well, the American Grand Cherokee also has a diesel engine nowadays, and the Wrangler will get one later this year.

I might rephrase my question: We need Jeep (Europe) but do we need to do two separate Grand Cherokee pages if they are the same in USA and Europe?

I think we have been over this before, but yes. We need Jeep (Europe), because some models are different for the European market. Of course, some models look the same for both markets, but if we only list them on the Jeep page, Jeep (Europe) will be very empty and not representative of the European market. Listing those cars twice seems like the best option, even if I would prefer not having to.

Ten were made, British reviewers even test drived the car (and made a semi-serious review out of it). As only one was sold, I would see it as a one-off production car (like Ferrari and Lamborghini also do sometimes).

"It was discontinued due to lack of profitability and as the result of FCA’s strategy of exclusively manufacturing trucks in North America."

FCA have some very brigh leadership. Mixing US and Italian isn't good thing. Cadillac Allante and Chrysler TC for example.
Damn it, Fiat is most common car in Serbia, they have factory here, but people don't like them and are only buying them for low prices.

All of Chrysler has been a sinking ship or many many years. I don't think any existing American car manufacturer has been close to bankruptcy as many times as Chrysler.
In the 70s, they failed to adapt to the economic situation, and kept building big cars when fuel prices were very high. They partnered with Mitsubishi -> failed.
In the 80s, they were saved by a cheap and uninspiring compact car (the K-Car) and bought AMC, which wasn't doing well at all, just so they could have Jeep.
In the late 90s, they partnered with Mercedes -> didn't work. At the end of the 2000s, they hit rock bottom and merged with Fiat (which struggles to compete with big corporations like Renault-Nissan, Volkswagen, GM).

Now FCA's boss has greatly improved Chryslers when you compare them to the 2000s models, but they aren't competitive at all if you look beyond price (and horsepower in case of Dodge). Dodge and Jeep crossovers are doing very well (funny, because they aren't getting very many facelifts), as the world is crazy about crossovers right now. Chrysler has two cars left (one is outdated, the other in a category that nobody wants anymore). Fiat tries to live off of the 500, which is losing popularity, Lancia is pretty much dead, Alfa Romeo's grand revival isn't exactly going as planned (although the Stelvio does well of course), Maserati has an outdated sports car, some very expensive sedans and a crossover.

FCA's boss has also been desperately looking for another corporation to buy all of FCA, which doesn't look very good, while he is trying to make all of his brands to go 100% crossover. Good job!

*Both the Chrysler TC and Cadillac Allanté were bad ideas because they were built in Italy and imported to the US, which made them ridiculously expensive. I think the Allanté could have done reasonably well if it was built in the US instead.

According to the main Dutch car news website, the Impreza was entering sales at the end of this year, and it is also available on different European Subaru websites, so I think this should be Since 2017.

I don't know... Wikipedia says so (since 2016) but most sources (including the official site) only speak about the manual. Maybe they haven't updated their informations yet?

According to the Russian website, it comes with a 4-speed Automatic. You can use it if you have Google Chrome with Google Translate on it: www.datsun.ru/vehicles/on-do/specifications.html

I personally think Hyundai pulled off the front of this car better than Nissan with it´s Juke, which is somewhat similar in styling.

Hmm, I personally like the Juke more. I know the Juke is quite a controversial car, but I think the front looks somewhat clean. The Kona's design has been received quite well, but I personally feel like the front is overdesigned.

Nothing says "business is booming" like copying the grille of a Russian car... www.webcarstory.com/voiture.php?id=30229

P.S. I originally meant this as a joke, but after some research, the oldest Lada concept I could find with this grille was from 2012, whereas the oldest Mitsubishi concept with the same detail was from 2013.

Replacement for the Juke, highly underpowered, with a naturally aspirated 1.6 that produces 125hp and 115 lb-ft of torque, pretty much all of it's competition here in the US has more power, with some models getting as good or in some cases better fuel economy.

Nice looking vehicle, but it's engine will likely make this vehicle less popular than it's predecessor...and it's guaranteed to be much more boring to drive.

It's interesting to see how this car does, as I've read a couple of very different opinions about it.

Some people say it will perform worse than the Juke, because of the weak engine and the general lack of style.
Other people say it will perform better, because the looks aren't so polarizing, and it has a lot more cargo capacity (which is one of the main weak points of the Juke).

The Argo looks like the 5-door Tipo and the Cronos like the Tipo Sedan. Anyway, even if its not the same platform: Its beautiful!

The Argo and Tipo's fronts are the same. Other than that they look mostly different.

Not entirely sure it's the same car. The Cronos is based on the Fiat Argo, which has a shorter wheelbase than the Tipo.

No, i was talking about the older generation. And the Mazda Sassou Concept (which became the 2 later) is from 2005:

I don't really see the resemblance with the older generation, but I do think the current Mazda2 has some similar rear looks as this concept.

I think they still have stock of those. The German BMW website lists prices for all 6 models, except for the 6 and M6 coupé.
