Haval’s current line-up on Autocade

With the addition of the Xiaolong and Xiaolong Max, we believe we have Haval’s (哈弗) current range now up.

Roewe’s all up

With the addition of the unremarkable Roewe Clever microcar, we now have all the Roewes up—hopefully we’ve covered both past and present models of this brand, which owner SAIC once saw as the successor to Rover, had it managed to secure the Viking longship badge and the Rover trade mark.

Top 10 car makers by sales, 2024

For those who bought Year of Cars 2025, you’ll have seen a table that shows the top 10 in 2003, 2013 and 2023, though the last one was from a different source.

Innocenti Morris IM3.

Innocenti’s ADO16s

One of the regular types of updates we did on Facebook was letting followers know about the latest additions, whenever we finished a series of them. Therefore, not every update went through—that would have meant a crazy level of duplication. We restricted these to a recently completed series of cars (e.g. one model line, multiple… Read More »Innocenti’s ADO16s
