Everything filed here has a single car as its subject. A reveal, a facelift, a new engine or battery option, an opening price, a launch in a market where the car was not sold before. Where a reference page exists for that model, the article links to it, and the full specification lives there rather than in the news text. Concepts and design studies appear too, marked as such.
