replies: text: Automobile (and truck) "cab-forward" or "forward control" certainly deserves its own article rather than that single not very accurate paragraph. The Pacer and the Mini don't even enter into it, since the term refers to vehicles where the driver is positioned right up front over the engine, such as forward control Landrovers, "flat face" trucks, some minivans, etc. The German Wikipedia has a pretty detailed article on this: Frontlenker. Unfortunately my German is minimal and the Babelfish translation is not too good. I might still have a go, though. Salmanazar (talk) 13:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

message: There seems to be no need for some of material to be duplicated in the Cab forward (car) article because all of it is in the automobiles section within this article. — CZmarlin (talk) 04:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As long as it is delineated as a separate section, I agree. It's worth noting that Chrysler's use of the term "cab forward" is different from the older locomotive etc. use - it was not merely Forward Control (putting the cab as far forward as possible) but was also moving the wheels out toward the corners, etc. Nothing particularly new, but the label is identified with a specific group of cars. (I would like to head off efforts to drag every person's favorite old car into the fray as "this was the REAL first cab forward car," because Cab Forward was a marketing term in this context, not a specific design feature - and cars with shortened hoods and reduced overhang have been around for a long, long time.)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:OP-15947.jpg

message: The "clarification needed" is right - driver's cab immediately forward of firebox doesn't make a lick of sense. Replaced it with "boiler", removing "immediately" because on coal-fired designs the smokebox is between driver and boiler.
I fear some of the visibility stuff is now duplicated, but I do think an explanation of why one builds such a thing needs to come further up the page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinkbeast (talk • contribs) 01:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
