it take a big place the thing you do

It can be quite compact. For example, the bodystyles can be listed as "sedan, wagon, hatchback, etc." instead of long names. The cars from different brands are ofcourse full name, and other versions/models can just be short, like "Z24, Berlinetta, Custom Coupé".

That's what I meant, we could place it above or underneath the pictures and engines. It won't be that long, there are nearly never more than 5 bodystyles for 1 car I think.

Hi Rinspeed. I had an idea for linking cars better, and I wondered what you thought about it, and if it is actually possible to do.
If it is possible, it would mean that I could link enormous groups of cars, which would make it easier to navigate around the site.
Here is a (bad) image of my idea:
imageshack.com/i/jjan5lj
I'm not sure if it is actually possible to add stuff to the side of the pictures, but it could be put above the pictures or underneath the pictures for all I care.
If it's not possible to do this, could we maybe discuss a different way to link more cars? Because I think if I link all the cars I want in the "related with" column, it will be really confusing for people.

As this car was produced before 1971, some of the horsepower ratings are in gross hp instead of net hp:
1970 4.1 (gross 155hp, net around 120hp)
1970 5.7 (gross 250hp, net around 170hp)

Why the production years?? If the year models come out the previous year, why not list them from the year range they got significantly changed?

@ Ford78: I wasn't referring just to US models.

AFAIK the whole world except for North America uses production years, so our notations should be accurate. If this car came out in september '85, in the US they would call an '86, but that kind of thing just wouldn't make sense on European or Japanese cars. We could opt for using both notations, but I think that would make everything confusing.

Yes, you're right. The picture is an 1986 model but it doesn't mean that started in 1986. In WebCarStory we do the prodution years, NOT in US model years. The Celebrity was produced from 1985.

For example: I put Fiat Punto. The official sale just began in 1994 but it started the prodution in 1993. So we put 1993.

Did you even read my comment? I said the exact same thing.

I think (if I look at your other comments) you're thinking in US model years, but on webcarstory, we put cars in production years. So if this car went on sale as an '86 MY, but the sales started in 1985, we do 1985-. Okay?
Otherwise, you'll find that all the American cars I put on the site are wrong, but that's just because I put them in production years, not US model years.

Corrected. It's because i actually do the future system of translation. So i verify all the files, one by one and change some things to add the system. In english you can't see nothing or just minor change (like add en engine page, that was not the same presentation). But for example some Admin files are now in french and english(instead of only english before). I had to do that to prepare the site to have others languages.

Please keep in mind that the horsepower-ratings of 1969-1970 are in gross, and not in net. There is no converter for those ratings, so it may seem that engines of 1970-1971 have lots and lots less power.

If the car is from 2000, and they just showed it again once, that doesn't mean that its production years should be 2000-2003.

I don't think so. Classic luxury cars, OK, but modern ones are better off with FWD. It makes them roomier, more fuel efficient and more comfortable, while RWD luxury cars are just plain faster. But that's not what a luxury car is about. Besides, most of the marques you described probably used RWD because they didn't know how to properly make a FWD luxury car. For example Citroën has made luxury cars since almost the beginning, and they make the most comfortable cars that exist
