The Beskid Link

I'm concerned that there really isn't enough to warrant the inclusion of the Beskid in this article. It's not enough to simply note that the Renault

Both are indeed sub-compact city cars, but the

It's not enough to accuse Renault of copying the Beskid just because the two cars are the same size. And the designs don't appear to be similar enough to support this argument.

Any thoughts? Jamesbrownontheroad 07:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the threshold for inclusion in WP is verifiability, not truth (see

The second source only mentions the similarity, does not try to establish any link. Even though there is a push to backtrack the Twingo to the Beskid, nothing remotely tangible was ever mentioned by any of the (questionably reliable) sources I have ever come accross. The Beskid was indeed a pioneering design, but there is nothing to indicate that Renault ever heard of it. PrinceGloria (talk) 11:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to know which part of this article is supposed to be like an advertisement. Apart from the piece mentioning trim levels and prices (which I have seen on other articles) of the second generation Twingo, I can't see anything that would pass as an advert.

The Twingo was the first production model with very flat windshield pillars. 30 degree in a vertical plane.

And the first small production model with a deep dashboard

The Twingo Mk. II is available (for some time now) with the 85 hp 1.5 dCi version. Engine board needs updating.

I'm removing all the info about the Beskid from this article. I'm surprised it stood for so long. The first source given clearly fails to comply

As once all info about Beskid was removed from the article, now I am removing all info about Honda Today. Firstly, this "info" doesn't have source. Secondly, these cars differ in virtually everything, except that they are very similar in shape. These cars cannot even be compared. Thirdly, both Twingo & Beskid are 4-5-seater 3-door monobox hatchbacks with folding rear seats, and Today is also 3-door monobox, but it's a 2-seater kei van, without rear seats. Passenger version appeared later, in 1988. Fourthly, Honda Today was not a pioneer, because prototypes of cars with such body shapes were created even earlier (for example, the aforementioned Beskid). But, this is how I find out that Honda Today is considered the world's first monobox passenger car, which is not true. Finally, as mentioned above, "resemblance" does not automatically mean "relationship". Regards, Kotori Habane (talk) 13:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Honestly I think the contrast is just fine with the red car, replacing it with a blue car isn't necessarily all the helpful for colourblind people with deficiencies other than red/green. An easy quick test is to take a copy of the image and change it to greyscale, if you can clearly make out the differences in greyscale then it likely has a high enough contrast in other situations.
