message: Should this really be counted as a supercar? Going down the list of criteria for a Supercar, it fails the power to weight ratio (10 lbs/hp closer to the porsche boxter used as an example than the Carrera GT), fails acceleration with 4.8 seconds being greater than 4, and it only just scrapes through the top speed with exactly the requirement. I think that it should be listed as a grand tourer, it is in the template at the bottom, it is more like a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti than an Enzo. That is my justification for changing it's class to a grand tourer. James086 13:42, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While it is a "super car" it isn't strictly a "supercar". The former usually only refers to a mid-engined machine of the statistics cited above. Bob talk 20:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

text: The fact that it is subjective is exactly why we don't use it here on Wikipedia. --Leivick (talk) 18:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess I should have been more clear.  We don't use it to classify cars, you shouldn't find any car being called a supercar directly here on Wikipedia. --Leivick (talk) 21:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: "...designed by Ian Callum"
Nearly all engineers in the automotive industry get furious over comments like this. No single person ever designs a car. Ian Callum is a stylist, therefore, he styled the car. He did not, by any stretch of the imagination, design the entire car. There are many disciplines involved in designing a car and my bet is that no single person can undertake all of these. For example, there's Crash, NVH, Ride & Handling, Packaging, Interior, Driveability, Electrical, Engine (& gearbox) Callibration, Legal requirements, Driveby (arguably under NVH). The list is a long one and each discipline will have a team who look after that sub-system or attribute.

message: This article only discusses the engine and no other aspect of the vehicle. No mention is made that the car was designed & developed by Lotus Cars as Project Bolton due to Lotus' experience with aluminium vehicle design.
What does 'Cosworth Technologies was originally contracted to manufacture the tires, but had no involvement with the seats.' have anything to do with anything, and why is it in engineering section? 60.234.152.56 (talk) 09:28, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.  No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 23:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV tag 

message: I have moved this page from "Aston Martin V12 Vanquish" to "Aston Martin Vanquish" for the following reasons:
*The former name is longer and more grandiose.
*V12 is unncessary to distinguish from any other engine, because only one Vanquish was made, with a V12 engine only.
*Aston Martin's website is silent on this old model, and most sources that have reviewed the car refer to it as the Vanquish only.
*Within the text (excluding the title), this article almost uniformly refers to it as the Vanquish, not V12 Vanquish, as do all of the other language pages.

message: How should we deal with the new AM310 Vanquish? The car name is both the predecessor and the successor to the DBS. Should we spin off the AM310 into a new page or turn it into a new section on this page?FstrthnU (talk) 18:47, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
