List of countries by car imports

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The list seems to be highly misleading, in that it doesn't just list actual imports, but also transports: e.g. Belgium is high on the list because its ports are a place of entry for e.g. Swedish or Japanese cars which are then moved on towards other countries (with some fraction remaining in Belgium). Note how the value for Belgium on the other list, List of countries by car exports, is nearly identical, and much higher than the value of the actual car production in Belgium. Countries like Belgium (and Canada for that matter) have much more car exports than e.g. Italy or France? Lists sourced only to a Wordpress site, so if we want this, WP:TNT would apply.

Also nominated is List of countries by car exports. Fram (talk) 16:17, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Import would imply they are staying in the country, simply transiting through a port towards another country isn't an import. Some strange OR or misunderstanding of the terms I think. Oaktree b (talk) 18:46, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete both. Strong case of original research here as WorldsTopExports appears to be a self published sourced based on independent/educational research. Also WP:NOTSTATS, content is already out of date by 2 years. Ajf773 (talk) 22:52, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
