The original aim of Autoindex was to create a database about current automobile manufacturers, assembly plants and small outfits offering hand-built turn-key or kitcars.
However we came to realize that in our current format, such marketing twists as badging GM-Daewoo products as Chevrolet in Europe could not be properly illustrated.
Therefore we set up a new category, called sales company and a new type of link which enables us to properly illustrate sales relations. Hope you will find these satisfactory. — October industry updates.
