How to organize all models?

As the number of vehicles launched on the platform keeps growing, the list becomes convoluted. I do feel that this page is a good place to maintain a complete list, I just wonder how it can be organized best.

I can think of sorting by: brand, size/class, start of production date, sales success...

Others might come up with more methods. Could a sortable table offer all at once, at the discretion of the reader? Gerdolfo (talk) 06:45, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Does it make sense for concept vehicles to have a platform?

I assume that most concept cars haven't been fully engineered and are essentially just design studies for visible areas of a car.

As the Fisker Ocean has shown, the platform can change at a later stage of development.

Perhaps we should remove the section. To me, the platform is something very real and the concepts are in a way fictional.

A reason for keeping it could be that some concept cars might show extreme variations that aren't implemented in real vehicles, such as the very small cars. however I don't know if they can be viewed as technically possible or if they are just some wild dreams of car designers.

most concept cars haven't been fully engineered Understatement of the year. The pretty ones aren't usually much more than mobile sculptures. I suppose one reason to leave it in is that fanbois are people too, and some concept cars are pre-production and hence the platform is relevant. Against that I'm not sure it all that notable.

APP and AKA motor naming

Is there a reference for the optional motor being called AKA 150? The only place I find it mentioned is the most recent version of this wiki article.

Regarding the APP acronym, even with the explanation it isn't clear to me what it's supposed to mean. Gerdolfo (talk) 14:41, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
