And yet the Swallow Sidecar company felt that changing their name to Jaguar after WWII was a good call.

Actually, I thought the same but apparently they started as separated entities. One of the Nissan companies merged with DAT (Datsun’s parent company) in 1933.

Damn, shame on me 😅

Current Indian Datsun website. Sells decontented cars based on Micras and Ladas.

They have. 

Doesn’t seem like so... https://www.datsun.com/

Datsun is getting cancelled (again)?

Default urban speed limit in most of Europe.

The Smart Forfour (and I suppose the Fortwo as well) accessibility is even worse.

Toyota already proved small hybrids can work. And now other manufacturers such as Renault are joining them. The actual price points (and potential success in the market place) remain to be seen.

Is this smaller that the current Mustang / previous Camaro? Because it feels like so.

We Europeans don’t buy that many A-segment cars and their price point makes electrification complex from a business point of view.

This also here (Spanish mid-size company with international branches). No rush to go back to the office except for essential teams (warehouse or logistics for example).

Because when your company is financially healthy intangible benefits such as “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” can make sense for marketing teams and they can sell it to upper management.

They quit because a racing team is expensive and they need to cut costs wherever they can to ensure that economic results aren’t too negative.

Everyone knows about the Supervans with F1 and sportscars underpinnings. But before there was the standard Mk1 doing some rallycross and keeping up with the racing cars.

Before the VAG days, in the 80’s the Group B 130LR was moderately successful in the 1300cc class.

My mother deserves a little sporty car to get her around such as a Swift Sport or an Abarth 595.

When this is over everyone must go out and buy a brand new MX-5.

Those Audis inherited the Sport Quattro’s 5 cylinder engine once it had been outlawed at the end of 1986. Without the tighter rules and demands of rallying they produced in excess of 700bhp!
