There are a lot of examples like that, that make very little sense. Why do we list the Plymouth Horizon/Dodge Omni as "Origin: France" when the US version has very little to do with the European model (just the body shape), but models from Dacia, Lada and SEAT very rarely get origins of Italy or France? We used to list the early US Ford Escorts as being Euro origin, but the later ones that were based off of Mazda were listed as US-origin. We finally stopped when we realized that the US and Euro models had only the chassis in common. I could point out more inconsistencies.
I don't recall having the US Escort listed as European origin
Or that was very long time ago (years and years, at the beginning of the site)Indeed some of the Italian-sourced vehicles probably would need to have their origin changed. On the other hand it feels weird to have the Lada as Italian origin
That's why in the new version we had dual-origin flags, but maybe I should put that in the current site as I don't know if we'll ever have time to finish that new version.Same for the Horizon/Omni: from what I read in the Wikipedia article it was a work between EU and US (not just the styling), it could also have the dual flags.
