[edit] USDM vs. US market

Please see USDM and JDM. The "DM" in these terms stands for domestic market, which has definitive legal and commercial meaning. It refers specifically to the home market of a company, with respect to that company's seat of operations. Therefore, there are JDM Hondas, Subarus, Toyotas, Nissans, and Mitsubishis, but no JDM Chevrolets or Chryslers or Audis or Volkswagens or BMWs, etc. European-brand and American-brand vehicles built and intended for sale in Japan are Japanese-market vehicles. Likewise, there are USDM Chevrolets, Dodges, and Cadillacs, but there are no USDM Subarus, Mercedes, Acuras or Saabs (versions of those vehicles sold in the US are US-market vehicles). And, rounding out the trio, there are EDM Citroëns, Volvos, Range Rovers, Renaults and BMWs, but the Chryslers, Mitsubishis, Toyotas and Subarus sold there are European-market vehicles. Ford is a bit of a special case, because there are EDM and USDM Fords...no JDM Fords, though. --Scheinwerfermann 16:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but the problem lies in the names. Infiniti and Lexus were developed for the US Market, even though the base cars originated from Japanese models. So your arguement is moot. Revert back. --293.xx.xxx.xx 10:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Erm, no. Even vehicles designed by a Japanese maker specifically for one particular non-Japanese market are not (x)DM vehicles. Re-read USDM and JDM, and remember we are writing an encyclopedia here, which means facts must needs take precedence over opinions, guesses, and preferred referents...which means that even if you really, really like calling the US-market Camry, for example, a USDM vehicle, it's still not factual and therefore does not belong in an encyclopedia. --Scheinwerfermann 13:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

And you never bothered to read the respective articles themselves. The two were first launched in the united States, and then saw acceptance worldwide. Also, USDM is a stub, unreferenced, and as it stands, is completely open to interpritation. Reverting back untill definitive proof can be found. --293.xx.xxx.xx 22:38, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I don't get it

I do not get the idea of what type of mods are made. Maybe because of too much jargon. Thanks anyway. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.223.209.88 (talk • contribs) 07:57, 2006 November 14.
