Default How can I find out what car models were released in certain countries?

For instance....we know the LS400 was introduced as such here....but in other countries it is the Celsior. Here, they introduced the ML320 and ML430..but in UK it was called the ML270. Where could I find info. such as this?

Most auto manufacturers have websites not only for the U.S. market but for other countries as well. You are often given that option when you log on. If not, you can do a search and get the company's overseas websites.

Here are a couple of examples that give you that option when you log on:

http://www.hyundai-motor.com/

http://www.porsche.com/

Your going to have to find the international auto sites.

The LS 400 is the LS 400 everywhere BUT in Japan.
The ML 270 is another engine option they have in the UK, they also offer the versions we get.

Yahoo usually does a very good job with their multinational sites. For Mexico and Latin America, I can help.

I usually go to the UK site, or the French site if there's no UK site since I can read it
