That interior shot is unclear, remove it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultraussie (talk • contribs) 10:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
The top says it's a Ford subsidiary since 2001, the bottom table says 1994. Which is it?? Msandersen 03:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Is it a 2 or 2+2 seater? --LeoTheLion 17:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
It is a 2+2 seater.
It's available as either a 2-seater or a 2+2: "Owners have the choice of two interior configurations: a 2+2 with rear seats or a pure two-seater with a rear shelf to accommodate a golf bag or personal items of luggage." http://www.astonmartin.com/ENG/thecars/vanquishs/personalitystyle-2 --Aml_0000 09:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Supercar?
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)
[edit] Engineering
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.
[edit] POV tag
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)
