Talk:World motor vehicle production by country in 2006

The figures in the graph don't tally up with the graph at http://www.oica.net/htdocs/press/releases/..%5C..%5Cstatistics%5COICA_depliant-final.pdf, which is probably a better source since it shows the combined figures without requiring original research (i.e. adding the two figures given in the cited sources). The fact that the figures conflict is irrelevant to us if we follow WP:ATT and let the OICA do the sums for us. --DeLarge 13:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Historical versions.
We're happily updating this template each year - I wonder if it's worth preserving the old versions (ie the best version for each year) someplace else - perhaps in an article of it's own - so we can track car production trends over time.

Alternatively, perhaps we could have a series of narrower stripes in different colours - one for each year. It would undoubtedly be interesting to see trends as well as the raw numbers.
