LRF4N Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I didn’t say I don’t like it- i just said it’s the same as the last one Rear is nice too but too much like the new panamera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1en Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Does anybody know why some manufacturers stick with the same model number for their cars ie audi A3 A4 etc and some move along numbers like Peugeot, 306, 307, 308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Peugeot has now stuck with 08 or 008 for their line up now, bar RCZ. I remember a simpler time when we had 3, 5, 7 and 8 series now, all gaps are filled lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1en Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Apologies, last post off topic, just got me thinking with original post skyline R32,R33,R34 yet 911 always remains. Great looking cars and price is only going one way so your not gonna be out of pocket. Enjoy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because they realised that if they kept going eventually they would end up with a Peugeot 911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Well Porsche in the days actually wanted to use 901, however Peugeot told them to sod off and so they used plan B and settled on 911 lol I think if Peugeot kept going they'd next be at 309 and that name had its day so *08 is here to stay. Audi had the 80 and 100 then settles on A4. Citroen use to use names Saxo, Xsara now settled on C1, C4 etc. Edited August 5, 2018 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32, R33 etc is the model code like Z33 and Z34 or DC2, DC5, E46, e92..... Those always remain in the background as the manufacturers build code - it's different to the name of the car. 911 can be 964, 993 996 and so on as their build codes.

G1en Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yep i get that Dave, thats why i used different examples, it was just the thing that got me wondering. Although ironically everyone i have seen with an integra calls it a dc2 or dc5 i think possibly some manufacturers can only use certain numbers so have to stick to them where others have “earmarked” others to use. Dont know at what point and by who does this, like if ford brought out a 320d im sure BMW would veto it but can they possibly have the copyright/trademark or whatever to a number or number+letter?
