forum_emoticons.html	[quote=130rapid,42687]Both generations were/are made/make in US plants, for North American market just. Similar way to US-origin Toyota Sienna. We should leave first gen. with "origin: Japan" and "made in: US" because I didn't find proofs for American engineering. However I'm searching... The second gen. was designed in United States with no doubt. "Product planning [about 2007 Tundra] began at TMS headquarters in Southern California. All engineering development was directed by the Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Styling, inside and out, was the work of Toyota's Calty Research and Design Centers in Newport Beach, California and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Finally, the new Tundra will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Princeton, Indiana and Toyota's new truck plant in San Antonio, Texas".[/quote]

Shall we rename it all to 'Willys Overland' brand?
And write the 'Willys Rural' as 'Willys Overland' (brand) plus 'Rural-Willys' (type).

Welcome back the old problem. :roll:

Indeed, I'll do that now.

This topic should be moved to the public forum.

I could add that to Honda indeed; there are probably other models in similar case in Nissan/Toyota.

Model origin for the Honda Element is USA; a few are listed as Japan because is added as defaut. I think in this case we can change the model origin USA for make it appears as defaut without edit it manually every time for the ones that will uploaded in the future

If so, these should be listed as origin = JP I guess...

What about Kolin triplets? The B-Zero project (Toyota Aygo / Citroen C1 / Peugeot 107) was done by Japanese engineers: http://www.autocar.co.uk/www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/207383/

Most are currently listed as origin = South Korea

I changed most of these cars' origin to South Korea yesterday (before Sandie posted it here). :smile:

antp

Most are currently listed as origin = South Korea
Only a few are listed with USA origin, so these could be corrected
