Talk:Mastretta MXT

Assessment

Please read this before rating. I believe this should at least receive a High or even Top ranking at the importance scale for Wikipedia:WikiProject Mexico, and High for Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles:

• It is the first car ever fully designed, developed and built in Mexico, and by a Mexican engineer.
• The car is currently in exhibiton at the British International Motor Show in London, and European press, aware of its Mexican origin, have give it a warm welcome. It will be sold in the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Germany and Mexico.
• Mexico has no tradition of sophisticated sports car manufacturing. The MXT will be a hit in Mexican automotive history.
• With this, Mexico has become both the first developing country and newly industrialized country to offer a supercharged sports car as its first product (for example, the first fully developed car in Brazil was a Volkswagen-based family car).

Within the quality assessment, I'd suggest to go for start:

• Very few information about the MXT has been given; mainly through two issues of Automóvil Panamericano and British press.
• Basic information, such as equipment, measures and release details are given with proper references.
• Two (front and rear) fair use images are included.
• Though the article is not long, it is not stubby either.

Chale weyes, luego luego sacan a relucir el cobre, por eso estamos como estamos. Quien jijos de su chiflada madre puso "sportive"??? Che bola de nacos.

"sportive" means "playful". I don't know what you're talking about, and I would kindly ask you to use English on the English Wikipedia before inditing such remarks. --Fluence (talk) 02:08, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Top Gear

After an appearance in the News portion of the Top Gear UK TV show, should mention of the three host's comments about the car (in the show, referred to as the "Tortilla") and Mexican people in general that led to some backlash from the Mexican ambassador and from viewers and fans of the show in Mexico be mentioned in this article? This behavior led to an official apology from the BBC.

It was already added by someone and then removed by someone else, then added and removed again. latest. --216.254.228.94 (talk) 18:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

This should be readded. It caused a major controversy, and Top Gear is actually influential. - 211.27.247.164 (talk) 11:14, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
