Ahem... Why would you be annoyed about people getting involved with the site and not fill in the field you will have created yourself?
Secondly, what's so valuable about the "origin" field in its present form? Is stating that Opels are German and Vauxhalls are (supposedly) British all that important?

The value of using origin is being used for the same make and model, but different locations. For example, early Pontiac LeMans were design in and made for USA. Later in the 1980's, there was Pontiac LeMans market in USA, but made outside USA. It is more than one make that is being rebadged for another market.

being annoyed: because it gives me more work, that site already takes me lots of time
not filling it: because I do not know where are built the cars

but nowadays dont we have at least a plant per country in Europe? i mean, for example, theres an Opel plant in Spain, but ig uess there are others in Germany, France, Italy, so everytime we get an opel we will have to put made in Spain, France, Italy etc?? quite hard isnt it? or will we do it depending on where the film takes place? so if it is a Spanish film the Opel is made in Spain?
but what about if the film is Rumanian for example, and the dont have a plant there, where are those vehicles made for that country?
Its gonna be a bit dificult to stay the made in field no? i think its gonna take more of our time arguing about it, or do people here want to do it because it is simple to do?

Adrián, I love your "no?" How do you say that in Spanish?
Just as a sidenote, GM builds Opels in Germany, Spain, Belgium and Poland at the moment, as far as EU is concerned.
Anyhoo, please take note of the fact that the field DOES NOT have to be filled for every vehicle, just as we do not fill in "built for", or chassis code, trim level etc. This is just additional info we MAY add if we can identify it and it's relevant.
Antoine, I do believe it is labour of love, ain't it I also believe admins can help you a lot with this particular task - and they seem to be doing a really good job!

Adrián, I love your "no?" How do you say that in Spanish?
I sometimes cant avoid saying, no? because in Spanish we dont have question tasks (?) they have that name, dont they? so we can say
The other day you went to the cinema didnt you?
but in Spanish it would simply be The other day you went to the cinema no?
We even ask a lot of times yes no? which in englsih i know it sounds funny
I think the same goes with French, ive seen Antoine saying no? many times too.

Indeed, it is the same in French so I make that "mistake"

In Polish, it is "dirty Polish" to say "no" (people in the North tend to add "no?", in the South "yes?" and in Mazovia "prawda?" (roughly equals "ain't that true?")
Anyway, I do know both of that and still love it And those qre question tags
Antoine, why not just swap the "origin" field for "place of origin" rather than "spiritual origin"?

Because I still think that having a flag of the country from where the car design/conception comes from is interesting.

Oh well, if so let it insert the country automatic for vehicles which most probably were made in the current "country of origin" (true for e.g. most Fiats and larger Opels, even the Corsas COULD come from Eisenach).

If/When the "made in" field will be added, it would have to be filled only for cars made in another country than their "origin" country of course.
Like the "made for". We do not fill "made for D" for all the German cars

It would also annoy me to see lots of such comments - and I don't do nearly as much work as Antp to review them all. Imagine, a lot of pages like that damn goblin truck.
