Hi.

I noticed some inaccuracies, and I want to make some changes:

1 - Lancia Rally '037 ':

We have listed the race version with the name 'Lancia 037 Rally':

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Lancia&model=037+Rally&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=- on

the only pic we have of a street version was called 'Lancia 037 Stradale'

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_135270-Lancia-037-Stradale-1982.html

Actually the official name of this model was simply Lancia Rally, as you can see from the original stickers on the tail of this one:

http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/attachments/picture-room/45109d1158193240-mille-miglia-2006-4070-lancia-abarth-rally-rear.jpg

The number 037 was the Abarth internal body code, but this car is often nicknamed as Lancia 037 because the original name Lancia Rally seems too generic. In fact, the subsequent Lancia Delta S4 had 038 as Abarth internal body code, but no one nicknamed it with this number, because the name Delta S4 was most indicative.
It seems to me more correct to call the street version Lancia Rally [037], Class: Coupé, because the Italian word 'stradale' is commonly used for all not-race cars, but it would seem more correct to call the race version Lancia Rally [037], Class: Race Car.
Do you agree ?

2 - Husqvarna

I noticed we have listed some Husqvarna bikes as 'Model Origin: Sweden', and others like 'Model Origin: Italy', irrespective of the production.
Husqvarna Motorcycles has produced motorcycles in Sweden only before 1986, then 1987 to 2006 has been owned by the Italian Cagiva Group, and motorcycles were designed and built in Italy. Since 2007 it has been owned by BMW.
I think we should list all the Husqvarna produced from 1987 to 2010 as 'Model Origin: Italy', Do you agree with me ?

3 - Ferrari by Koenig

I noticed that between the Ferrari Testarossa pics, there are two pics of a modified version by Koenig Specials in Germany:

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_297451-Ferrari-Testarossa.html

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_306257-Ferrari-Testarossa.html

Curiously, both are part of animation movies, but this model really exists. The Koenig-Ferraris were not badged Ferrari because Ferrari did not grant permission to use its badge on modified cars. The Koenig-Ferrari badge was rectangular with a yellow background as the original Ferrari badge, but it had the KS logo instead of the prancing horse. The first step of the Koenig Testarossa (the white one) kept the name Testarossa, but the yellow one was the most advanced step, and his correct name was Koenig Competition Evolution.
I was wondering whether it would be better to list these two pics under a new brand Koenig.

4 - Suzuki Hayabusa

We have listed the Suzuki Hayabusa with two different names: 'Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa', and 'Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa'.
In fact, this difference does not exist, the model is only one. The first series of this bike had a 'GSX 1300 R' sticker, but really it is called GSX-R 1300 everywhere, on price lists and magazines, because it is part of the GSX-R series, as its younger sisters GSX-R 600, 750 and 1000.
Do you think we can be listed all Hayabusas under the name GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa ?
