In China, this RAV4 generation doesn't even wear the RAV4 name — GAC Toyota sells it as the Toyota Wildlander instead, with its own front-end styling.

Since 1997 the Corolla has been the best-selling car nameplate in history, overtaking the VW Beetle -- Toyota passed 54 million sold by early 2026.

The SK Forester's hybrid battery doesn't hide under the floor like most hybrids' — Subaru mounted it above the rear axle specifically to improve the car's front/rear weight balance.

Mazda promised a US diesel CX-5 for 2017 — it didn't actually arrive until 2019, and only for a single model year on the top Signature trim.

The Abarth 500 was unveiled at the 78th Geneva Motor Show, a year after Abarth's rebirth, and every model uses a turbocharged, intercooled 1.4 L Fire four.

Acura's first hybrid was a flop nobody noticed — the ILX Hybrid sold just 2,660 units in its first 17 months, and Acura quietly killed the hybrid trim after two model years.

Acura didn't tune this MDX's suspension in a parking lot — it sent the three-row family SUV to the Nürburgring to get it right.

To launch the third-gen MDX, Acura didn't just buy ads — it built 8 comedy shorts with Jerry Seinfeld and became exclusive sponsor of his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

The very first second-generation NSX built, VIN #001, was never sold in the usual sense — it was auctioned for $1.2 million, with every dollar going to charity, and NASCAR owner Rick Hendrick drove it off the line.

The 2019 RDX's touchpad doesn't work like a laptop's — it uses absolute positioning, so wherever you tap the pad maps directly to that same spot on the screen.

While rivals reached for bigger V6s, the first RDX went the other way — a turbocharged four-cylinder, making it one of the only four-cylinder luxury SUVs of its generation.

This redesigned RDX was supposed to share the screen with the Avengers — Acura and Marvel announced a promotional tie-in for the 2012 movie, but the RDX's own scene ended up on the cutting room floor.

The 2011 RL's wheels hid a world first: polypropylene Helmholtz resonators built into the rims to cancel out highway-seam noise before it ever reached the cabin.

The 2018 facelift stretched the RLX past 5 metres — the longest sedan Honda or Acura had ever built.

This TL's SH-AWD system could send every bit of its rear-axle power to a single wheel, left or right, mid-corner — an all-wheel-drive system built for cornering, not just winter traction.

The TLX's dual-clutch gearbox was the first in the world to also use a torque converter, borrowing a trick from automatics to smooth out its shifts.

The TSX was introduced to give Acura buyers a European-flavored sedan, and its first generation was a rebadged version of the Japanese-market Honda Accord.

The ZDX marked a first for Acura — the first vehicle ever designed entirely in-house at the brand's own California studio in Torrance.

When Brazil's Engesa went bankrupt, its own former employees bought the rights to its military 4x4 and rebuilt it with Agrale — that reborn design became the Marruá.

The Aion LX's roof carries solar panels — not to charge the battery, but to passively heat or cool the cabin on their own.

The same Aion S was rebadged as both a Toyota (iA5) and a Honda (Everus EA6), two rival dealerships sharing one sedan.

The Airstream International of 1958 earned its place in RV history as the first self-contained travel trailer, free of campground hookups.

Aixam's diesel microcar runs a Kubota Z402, an industrial farm-equipment engine making 4-6 kW, built to dodge a driving licence.

The hot-hatch 147 GTA needed real surgery to fit its tires: Alfa widened the body 15mm per side just to clear its 225/45R17 rubber.

Alfa Romeo styled the 159 with design cues meant to make it look bigger and appeal to American buyers — then never sold it in the United States at all.

The 4C was built by Maserati in Modena, not by Alfa Romeo, and brought Alfa back to America for the first time since 1995.

Production of the 8C Competizione was limited to 500 coupes, and Alfa Romeo allocated them by reviewing applications from prospective buyers rather than by order of deposit.

The Brera won a top Italian design prize before it was even a real car — Giugiaro took home the Compasso d’Oro for the concept that became this generation.

Bertone wanted to build the GT at its own factory, but Fiat refused, sending assembly to Pomigliano instead.

The Quadrifoglio didn't just look fast: with a manual gearbox, it lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:39 — a record for a saloon car.

Alfa built the Quadrifoglio's 2.9 V6 by cutting two cylinders off the Ferrari California T's twin-turbo V8.

Alfa Romeo hadn't built a rear-wheel-drive car since the 75 was axed in 1992, until this one revived the layout.

Alfa called the Giulietta's platform all-new — but the front structure traces back to the old C-platform under the Fiat Stilo and Lancia Delta, reworked rather than replaced.

Its name just glues together the two cities that made it, Milano where it was designed and Torino where it was built.

This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.

At 1,660 kg it undercuts a BMW X3 by 145 kg and a four-cylinder Porsche Macan by 110 kg despite sharing the Giulia's platform.

Alfa Romeo named its first SUV after the Stelvio Pass — Italy's highest mountain road, famous for 48 tight switchbacks stacked up a single mountainside.

Alfa Romeo built its first SUV ever with a carbon-fibre driveshaft, a part normally reserved for cars half its weight.

The Premiere launch edition was capped at exactly 1,955 units, a nod to the year Alpine itself was founded.

The Atom began life as a Coventry University student project, not a factory brief.

Ariel built its off-road buggy from the same bare tube exoskeleton as the roofless Atom, just pointed at gravel.

The obscure, short-lived Artega GT — only around 153 ever built before the company went bankrupt — was shaped in part by Henrik Fisker, the designer behind the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

Aston built two CC100s: one owner planned to keep his in a private collection, the other to get it approved for public roads.

Aston Martin's then-CEO Andy Palmer personally inspected the first 1,000 DB11s built — a hands-on quality check most automakers wouldn't dream of at that scale.

You could not buy the new DB4 GT Zagato alone, only as a forced pair with a DBS GT Zagato.

Most DB9 prototypes were deliberately destroyed after testing — the three that survived went on to star in Casino Royale, then were rendered undriveable for good.

Aston Martin closed out the DBS with a China-only Dragon 88 edition: 24-carat gold-plated wing badges, a leather presentation box with a gold-detailed owner’s guide, and a run capped at exactly 88 cars.

The first special-edition DBS Superleggera built just 24 examples — one for every hour of the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, the race where Aston Martin famously finished first and second.
