That's the problem. You literally translated them, instead of looking for the proper English names.

I think the taillights are quite different, so it needs to be split into two pages in the future.

I did not put these colours on this car. I just translated them.

First Japan-only Lexus I believe.

I've used the Japanese colors, I'll update them if necessary if the car is out for the American market.

Perhaps it was in UK or for others Lexus in US (a lot of time, the colors are the same for a car to other car from same make)

i think it's Ford78 that had put them. It's really better like you had said to put the official name from configurator. This what i do.

Rinspeed wrote
I'll see to it personally.

Whoops, spoke to soon. The NX isn't on sale yet in North America, so there is no configurator site yet.

Literal translation of colors isn't always good. I compared the Vauxhall site and the Dutch Opel site, and both used the same names:
Power Red instead of Chili Pepper Red, Arden Blue instead of Bleu Bermudes, Asteroid Grey instead of Asteroid Silver, Silver Lake instead of Cedar Silver.

So it's better to check out multiple configurator sites.

and i remember that if someone translate for example the Lexus Blanc Arctique in english or antother lang. All the others cars with Lexus Blanc Arctique were automatically translated and the future also. If someone post in the future a Lexus with this color, it will be translate automatically.

For engines, i had put only the official names. For visitors it could be more accurate to see them.

For colors, yes it was from japanese site, i had forgot it for made for. And for the names, i had take them from the french ebrochure, but i don't know the english names. And if there isn't the english name, the system put at list another lang for color. But if someone put the english version in the system of Translation, those who have the english lang will see them in english instead of french. This is why this is important to translate the colors.

Rinspeed, would it be an idea to change the Lexus engine names to their volumes? I'm not sure if 300 is always a 3.0, or 460 a 4.6, and it would be nicer in comparison to other cars if we just used the same engine names everywhere. For example 2.0 Toyota 8AR-FTS instead of 200t.

Also, more specifically, you entered the NX as sold in North America only, but the configurator pictures look very Japanese (could be coincidence), and the colors are in French (which isn't exactly common on the American market). Could you explain it to me?

EDIT: I only now see you have sold in France instead of sold in Canada, sorry..

Not only it has Peugeot 406 taillights but it is also based in Lotus Elise GT1.

It looks as if it has Peugeot 406 taillights.

Strange... I thought that Chrysler would be second make...

no only one

Toyota GT-One competed in GT1 class in 1998 and in 1999, it competed in LMGTP class. Should I make 2 sepparate pages for GT-One Race Car (1 for GT1 class and 1 for LMGTP class)? Is because I'm not sure about it.

If you want you can add 1993,1994 and 1995.

EDIT: And in 93,94 and 95 it was World Touring Car Cup.

There's vehicles to add our database of WTCC:
Ford Focus ST170
Toyota Altezza
Honda Civic Type-R
Peugeot 407 BTCC
Volvo S60 Flexifuel
Toyota Corolla T-Sport

And there are missing just the 1987, 1993, 1994 and 1995 seasons to complete the WTCC triology.

No
I used for french the real name given by the make.
Example: For Aston Martin and Subaru, we use English Names in France
For others, there is the French versions. For the americans cars, i can see it generally in Canada for french.

Are we supposed to literally translate colors? In the Netherlands, we use either the English names or French/Spanish/German/etc. names if the company uses their local market names.

Rallye Rouge instead of Rouge Rallye

Wrong translations for example?

For example Red X/Yellow Y (second for roof)

Desscythe17 wrote
Body + roof, i think it's better, we can see the multiple combinaisons;
Ford78, please don't translate french version of colors, i search them myself, and you did some wrong.

What about cars like the Mini Cooper? Body + roof colors, or just body?

Ok

not necessary to put pearl or metallic at the end, you already put it in ( )
