[edit] In need of fixing...

  1. I count three disambiguation page links, which is of course three too many.
  2. Why is this template so big? Thirteen lines high for only 33 wikilinks? Template:Mitsubishi squeezes 126 links into 18 lines, Template:Nissan gets 107 into 16 lines. Comparing it with smaller templates, Template:Daihatsu has 29 links in only 8 lines
  3. It's totally inconsistent. Kawasaki is a "Main brand" even though it doesn't make cars, but Yamaha is only a "parts manufacturer"?
  4. Scion is a "Main brand (USA only)", but Acura is a "Luxury brand"? The Integra, CSX, TSX et al demonstrate that it is a premium brand, not a luxury brand.
  5. The template is called "Japanese Car" (sic), yet includes companies which don't manufacture cars. Parts? Commercial or heavy vehicles?
  6. Scion, Acura and Infiniti are US-only brands. Presumably they qualify as "Japanese cars" because their parent company is Japanese? So why is Mitsubishi Fuso in here then, since it's 85% owned by a US-German conglomerate?

I'm not particularly happy this template exists, so I'm not inclined to fix it. But if no-one else does, I'm going to come back in a week or so and start pruning the crap out of it. --DeLarge 21:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
