Car Model Guide/ Makes

All makes

31 researched, 0 listed and queued. Coverage is deliberately narrow and deep. One chassis family documented properly beats a thin row for every car ever built, so a make appears in full only once there's real research behind it.

Index, every make

Greyed makes are listed but not researched: no specification, no issue records, no prices. They're here so the index is honest about what's missing rather than quietly omitting it.

Engines indexed

Engine codes are first-class objects: searchable, linkable, and carrying their own issue lists across every car they were fitted to.

Next in the queue: Audi B7/B8, Mercedes W204/W211, VW Mk5/Mk6, and the 2000s Toyota and Lexus sixes, chosen for cross-shopping rather than popularity, because comparison only becomes useful once both sides exist. See coverage.
