I saw the template and there appears to be no Renault 13. Why?? Georgia guy 01:23, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Superstition, as there is no number 13 in car racing. Ericd 16:55, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] V70 used as example of car with lights along entire C pillar

Why is the 1998 Volvo V70 used as an example of a 'much later' car with lights along the entire C pillar when it was done significantly before that? Off the top of my head, the Fiat Punto (1993) comes in earlier and I doubt it was the first. --Kiand 04:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

...Probably because most anglophone wiki users are from North America, and whereas there are an awful lot of Volvos in North America, there are, as far as I know, vanishingly few Fiats there. But from a European perspective you are right: I've made the change since no one else seems to have reacted to your thought. Regards Charles01 12:11, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

so why are there 2 pages?? --matador300 21:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Let's keep the popular culture in it. Many other auto pages have include pop culture references, making it more interesting.



Please let's not merge Renault 5 with "Renault 5 Alpine" and "Renault 5 Alpine Turbo" pages...

I suppose "Renault 5 Alpine" and "Renault 5 Alpine Turbo" pages could be (and probably should be) merged into "Renault 5 Alpine".

The Renault 5 Alpine and Alpine Turbo were special cars that are not well known these days, but important in their contributions to modern hot-hatchbacks. Keeping them in their own article allows more detailed information and discussion, and more emphasis on these models, than would be possible with leaving everything on one page.
