Why is the undeserved word "Luxury" sneaked into every car article on wikipedia?

Lacia Ypsilon? "Luxury"? Isn't it based on the oh-so-unluxorious Punto? /S 130.235.51.95 (talk) 10:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Because Lancia is a premium-marque, and it's cars may have been based on fiat models, but so were Autobianchi cars based on Fiat 500, still being a luxurious versions of that car.YBSOne (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

inaccuracies in the Lancia content

Lancia makes very dubious clams of originating monoque construction .The 1913 lagonda (A BRITISH CAR) was a true monoque. Lancia also claim to have developed rear transaxles, these were common American cars ie the overland had a rear transaxle in 1914 (40000 were produced)It is always dangerous to make claims of novelty in motor engeneering as so much was tried well before the first world war by often forgotten makers. Lancia enthusiasts however keep repeating their incorrect claims which they know to be wrong.188.29.213.215 (talk) 14:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)for the record I own a lagonda 11.1 1913 which is a true monoque, and I also have a 1914 type 79 overland with rear transaxle.188.29.213.215 (talk) 14:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)≈188.29.213.215 (talk) 14:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

There are only sources copied from wikipedia about Lagonda 11 having a "riveted" monocoque body. Maybe it's not a true monocoque but a semi-monocoque?YBSOne (talk) 17:07, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
And the first transaxle layout is credited to: First FR layout transaxle car - 1898 De Dion-Bouton, not Lancia~. YBSOne (talk) 17:09, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
