There must be some good way to find all the markets that are now right hand drive... more difficult to find out whether Twingo II is headed there. My wife is French and adores these cars. Where we live (USA) there are few if any B-segments or smaller... til we get the Smart Fortwo. We do have the Chevrolet Aveo. What to Brits think of B-segments in general? If I had to say, I'd say it's an uphill slog here for any such cars: the Aveo seems to engender a visceral aggression. I'm thinking its an ok car of modest capability and, like the Twingo, suprisingly decent packaging.
Look forward to more contribs on the Twingo -- the article seems light for a car that had as much impact as it did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 842U ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Just finished my (boring) work, brewed a cup of espresso, and here we go with renewed vigor.
I took the 411/412 data from the ubiquitous Werner Oswald´s standard books on German cars; in December, when I wrote that specific table, I had just acquired a set of the latest edition of that book. Apparently, I took the easy route and did not split the data completely down, for whatever reason. Of course, it is entirely possible to do just this, but it requires a bit more work. The top speed and acceleration range (Oswald uses works figures) accounts for manual/automatic versions; also the body style (aerodynamics) and the weight of the cars makes for differences here. Oswald´s fuel consumption figures are his own (but rather realistic, I must say) estimates; Automobil Revue gives estimates, if the works don´t provide figures, but usually DIN figures (a single figure measured at a constant 110 km/h or at 3/4 of top speed, if I remember correctly, in the 60s and 70s, later the complete DIN/JIS/EPA cycle figures where available). Weight figures in both cases are standardized DIN figures (with full tank, I believe; since 1995 or so including 75 kg for the driver).
The 412 had a wider track than the 411, so the second figures refer to the 412.
I´m sure alimentation is the wrong term, I mixed it up with Italian alimentazione. Aspiration should be correct, I think. The decision to convert the Citi Golf table into English and pose the whole question on en:wp was a spontaneous one, so I might have erred with the terminology.
And of course, giving readers outside of Germany German prices is nonsense. I do have sources for the USA, but not for the UK (or other countries).
I´m not sure if I understand this sentence: «I personally would prefer it if either (1) you put all the values that differ according to column together or else (2) you repeat the column headings where, AFTER having merged the columns for data concerning which all versions share common data, you THEN return to individual columns.», but I´m quite tired right now. Anyway, I´m not a PC wizzard; the table I am using was originally conceived by a friendly fellow for de:Porsche 356, and although I have achieved limited mastery in adapting it, more complicated alterations are out of my reach for the time being.
I´ll go over the 411/412 table in the next 20 minutes; maybe it´ll be more to your (and my) liking after that.
I´m watching the discussion I started with some interest, but it seems apparent already at this time that there won´t be a consensus. Tot capita, quot opiniones, or Noah´s Ark, as you so humorously wrote.
And by the way, thank you for the pictures you have uploaded. I think these are very valuable additions, and just tonight I put your Frankfurt Iso Grifo picture to good use. Also, are you living in France or Belgium?

Hello, you two - thank you very much for your observations and encouragement. I just added the SEAT table on en.wp, just for fun; please gloss over it any time you like and let me know of obvious mistakes. -- Of course you´re right, there´s the Sei Mutig/Be Courageous rule, no problem with that. The car section on en:wp just seems to be so much better organised with several people on patrol, so I did not want to simply go ahead adding tables (although I did add some time ago a Toyota Crown table) On de.wp there´s just a handful of (reasonable) folks and, as far as I can see, much less discussion. So far, I have encountered neither dissent nor encouragement as for the tables on de:wp; there was one case (Opel Rekord D) where someone removed the table, but that was quickly reverted. -- Yes, I´d like to have a visitor counter for all pages, that would be very interesting. According to wp, however, there is no tool available to look up the number of visitors. French, italian, spanish and portuguese car articles generally are quite poor, it seems, which is most probably due to the different, outdoor-oriented life styles preferred there. I did some scrutinizing on italian Opel entries last December and found them often to be italocentric instead of global, concentrating on Italy-specific variants and omitting models available elsewhere. -- Working out German and English tables at the same time or copying a German table for English use is not viable, mainly due to the conversion tables included in the English version; it´s far better and less time-consuming to copy an English table (Citi Golf or now SEAT) and adapt it. -- Anyway, have a good weekend and see you again.

@ Charles and Typ 932
1. While rummaging through my piles of books I found a copy of Brian Long´s tome on the Jaguar XJ-S; there, on pages 44 to 49, there´s a technical description of the XJ-S, probably taken from an early Jaguar press kit. While for obvious reasons the section dealing with the injection is headed "Injection", the following paragraph entitled "Fuel System" consists of the entries: Type - Recirculating; Pump - Lucas electric permanent magnet motor; Fuel specification - 97 octane/four star. In other words, the term «fuel system» seems to describe, as I suspected right from the start, not the way the fuel and air are combined and fed into the combustion chambers, but the way the fuel is transported from the tank to the carbs/injection (pump, lines, filter). Or can it really be used to describe everything from tank to injector nozzle? Some websites seem to indicate such use of the term.
2. Also, looking up «carburation» in LEO (internet dictionary) I find the German equivalent «Gemischaufbereitung», which is exactly the generic term I used to use in the German tables as a heading to describe carbs/injection/turbos. I´m also sure that I have read «carburation» in this sense before.
3. Now, while «Gemischaufbereitung» can be used to describe both carburetted and injected engines, I presume that the use of «carburation» is restricted to carbs. Correct?
4. As an aside, aren´t there «naturally aspirated» engines and «aspiration ports»? There´s even an entry called "engine aspiration methods" on en:wp.
5. What about «induction»?
Being somewhat insecure as to what really is the correct English translation for «Gemischaufbereitung», I´m hoping for the expert opinion of native speakers on this. (@ Typ 932: no intention at all of embarrassing or annoying you; I´m thankful for your comments and help, but this thing just refuses to quit haunting me). I´ll look out for other English-language sources I might have.

Hello Charles, thank you for explaining my question. As I have left de:wp for good the other day, I didn´t see your kind response earlier. Well, I´m a M.A. phil. myself (Latin), but never having been to Britain in the course of my studies, I couldn´t make anything of the Hons part (sounds like some Dutch crook going around and stealing Toledos; or a Flamish 17th century painter). -- Started my latest translation project today, Mr Edward´s Aston Martin book, and consulted the AM website for it - wouldn´t you know, there´s «fuel system» twice on the same spec page - once for tank and fuel lines and once for carburation and induction. The book seems very well written, with a hint of humour, like, on the subject of Lagonda engines in DB2s: "The originality brigade are of the opinion that this is a sacrilege on a par with Charles V`s sack of Rome...a BMW 325e engine drops in rather nicely as well."

Hello Charles, for the PS/hp question, please see horsepower: 1 PS = 75 kp·m/s = 0.73549875 kW = 0.9863201652997627 hp (SAE). As DKW most certainly used DIN PS, 45 PS should translate to 44 hp and so on, although you´re right of course to point out the liberties works used to take in this matter.
I do hardly know anything about the technical side of two-stroke engines, but there were actually, I believe, such engines without valves in the four-stroke sense. On the other hand, this might just be another semantical problem; if Oswald writes: Ventile - ohne, it might mean the DKW engines had what is called "Drehschieber" or in English "rotary valve" - here we go again. What we need here is a DKW specialist. Also, the so-called Schwebeachse seems to consist of a simple rigid/beam axle plus the transverse leaf spring, but that´s just taken from Oswald, too.

Hello Charles, for the PS/hp question, please see horsepower: 1 PS = 75 kp·m/s = 0.73549875 kW = 0.9863201652997627 hp (SAE). As DKW most certainly used DIN PS, 45 PS should translate to 44 hp and so on, although you´re right of course to point out the liberties works used to take in this matter.
I do hardly know anything about the technical side of two-stroke engines, but there were actually, I believe, such engines without valves in the four-stroke sense. On the other hand, this might just be another semantical problem; if Oswald writes: Ventile - ohne, it might mean the DKW engines had what is called "Drehschieber" or in English "rotary valve" - here we go again. What we need here is a DKW specialist. Also, the so-called Schwebeachse seems to consist of a simple rigid/beam axle plus the transverse leaf spring, but that´s just taken from Oswald, too.

The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here
There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment. |
