message: ===Mazda RX===
I updated the Mazda RX timeline template.  I love this thing!  I'm very happy with how it came out.  --SFoskett 19:25, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)
===Ford===
I'm starting a Ford template.  Boy, they have lots of models!  Anyway, modifications and article placements are welcome! --SFoskett 19:23, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
===Cadillac===
I've made a Cadillac timeline now.  We should use the "timeline" nomenclature for this type of template, methinks.  Anyway, please comment at Template talk:Cadillac timeline.  --SFoskett 14:30, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
===BMW cars===
I've added User:Hotlorp's BMW cars template.  Great work Sfoskett, these templates really tie the car articles together well. akaDruid 08:56, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I've begun with a Template:Hyundai cars (copying the one for BMW). Needs a lite more work though. I'll check for ideas at these templates for other makes.

thread_title:  Fair use images 

message: Do we really need any of these templates? Wouldn't it be easier to simply have most of this information on the marque's main article page and link to it from any of the model, engine, etc. pages? Some of these templates are becoming ridiculous to look at. Take the Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz and Pontiac timelines as examples. Or the Saab template. They're ghastly! They take up half my screen! And they certainly don't clarify any of the information they intend to spread (in most cases I would challenge they make it more confusing). Am I alone in my opinion? --93JC 23:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Tiemlines may help to navigate along a segment (e.g. all the mid-size cars by Cadillac) and along a decade (e.g. which cars were produced by BMW in the 1970s). A list of cars or a category don't help a lot, since alphabetical order may not be relevant. I think timelines are very useful; about traditional boxes, I'm not sure. -- NaBUru38 00:47, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
