thread_title:  Refurbished models 

message: The "Design Influences" section reads "The Jensen Interceptor bears some obvious visual similarities to the Brasinca Uirapuru, a rare Brazilian car manufactured in 1964. This has led some to question what influence the Uirapuru had on the design of the Interceptor." I don't know who these "some" might be, but I doubt it's anyone who knows anything about the Interceptor's coachbuilder, Carrozzeria Touring (of Torino, Italy). Also from Torino was Carrozzeria Frua, who designed the Maserati Mistral, whose show car debuted in 1963, before either the Interceptor or the Uirapuru. The Mistral is the far more likely source of inspiration for the Uirapuru's distinctive back half, while the Uirapuru's front half seems to be inspired by the 1962 Iso Rivolta.  I'd like to give the author of the "Design Influences" section a couple of weeks to respond, after which I'll remove the section unless they can justify it. Bricology (talk) 21:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The "some have argued that" formulation is unfortunately common on Wikipedia (second only to "arguably"). I remember when I first realised that I could pass off my own opinions as objective, sourced fact by putting "some may argue that" in front of them; I was in college at the time. I have grown out of it, but a lot of Wikipedia editors haven't. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:26, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

text: When this para first appeared I was highly suspicious of it as pure speculation/original research. The above comments have increased my confidence that it should go so I've removed it.  If someone can come up with a respectable source it can be replaced. Malcolma (talk) 08:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia recognizes TV programs as reliable sources, it has a cite episode tag for them.  A cite video tag has been used here as it allows readers to view the actual program themselves.  A TV program produced by a multi-national media company is a reliable source, even if a copy of it is being accessed through YouTube. Unknown Unknowns (talk) 08:43, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistaken attribution 

message: The photo of the interior is driving me crazy.  This is a British car and the steering wheel should be on the right (they are in the other pictures), and all the cars should be parked on the other side of the road if they are facing the way they are facing.  I think this photo is flipped.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.69.163.106 (talk) 23:54, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
