[edit] Copyvio

This article is full of POV and non-encyclopedic language. Would need to be heavily re-written. — Asbestos | Talk 12:44, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Actually, take that back. It's merely copyvio from the company's website. — Asbestos | Talk 12:49, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

FYI, the above comment applies to the former content of this page, which was deleted as copyvio. The current (from April 16, 2005) is brand new and not copyvio. --SFoskett 14:51, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NADA Cars

Is it just me, or doe some of these cars appear, in a modified form, in the film Gattaca? Douglasnicol 18:40, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


Yes they do appear in Gattaca. The police cars are American spec (NADA)V8 versions that among others things had their exhaust shortened so it would not show and the sound of the V8 was overdubbed with a kind of electric motor sound to make they sound more futuristic.

I thought so, they don't appear for more than a few seconds, but the P6 has a rather distinctive look. Douglasnicol 22:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I was going to add a NADA section to the article. Gattaca was on TV last night, funnily enough I turned over just as one was onscreen. There's a different bonnet to the car, it has three air intakes which make it fairly distinctive and bumper overriders. There are some other internal changes I must look up next time I'm back home with my magazine collection Alastairward 09:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last P6

I have added a few bits to these P6 pages as I own the last P6 off the production line and have done quite extensive research, however I am still looking for lots more info about my car. The white estate/ estoura was mine up until a couple of weeks ago also. Roverp6man 07:48, 8 july 2006

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:P6cray 02.jpg

Image:P6cray 02.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
