All the infoboxes for different topics are color coded. The auto ones need to have the automobile standard color specified at Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Layouts. If you're going to change them, change them to that. Thanks.Hektor 19:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
MR or RR? Is the Berlinetta boxer mid-engined or rear-engined? In the main text of the article it is MR, and in the factbox it is RR. 80.203.247.217 19:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
That's kinda a tricky question. In a rear-engine car ( vw, porsche, corvair ), the engine is generally entierly behind the transmission. In a mid-engine car ( 288gto, Fierro, Mondial T ), the engine is in front of the transmission. In the BB the engine is actually centered OVER the transmission.

Front, Front-mid, mid, and rear engine designations are determined by the placement of the engine with respect to the front and rear axles (or half-axles). A front engine has at least a small "amount" of the motor over or forward of the front axle. A front-mid engine car has the engine entirely behind the front axle, e.g. the Dodge Viper. A mid engine car has some (usually most) of the motor in front of the rear axle. A rear engine car has at most a small "amount" of the motor over the rear axle and most of it behind the rear axle.
