Daihatsu Rocky

As I seem to recall, Daihatu's advertising for their vehicles in the United States was very Japanese market oriented, and then translated into English. The result was something that didn't entice anyone, it instead sounded very much like a warning label on a product. The tagline was something like "The Rocky, by DIAHATSU; the most respected name in Japanese automobiles for (insert number of years)." Considering that most Americans had never heard of Diahatsu, I think they found the claim a bit hard to swallow. user: stude62 user talk:stude62 13:59, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Fourtrak?

I read somewhere (Believe it was a UK source) that this was an alternate model name. Was I misled? --Jnelson09 21:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I get it now: "Fourtrak" was the UK name. --Jnelson09 21:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

First generation?

The car depicted as a first generation Rocky is actually a second generation one. First generation daihatsu rockys looked like the first mitsubishi pajeros, only smaller. Southwestsoul (talk) 16:51, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Toyota Rise or Raize ?

Anybody know which is the correct name - as supported by reliable sources. So far I see Rise supported by https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/toyota-rise-compact-suv-to-debut-next-month-414496 and no websites that I trust for Raize.  Stepho  talk  03:53, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

@Stepho-wrs There's a raw source for this: https://life30on.blogspot.com/2019/10/all-new-2019-2020-toyota-raize-rush.html 36.71.53.94 (talk) 04:01, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

So that's one reference for Rise and one reference for Raize - neither of them from the big name sources. Do we have anything from Toyota or from one of the more reputable sources? Perhaps it is both Rise and Raize - for different markets.

By the way, it's considered good etiquette to wait until a discussion is over before changing all the names to your preferred version. I'm referring to here, at Toyota New Global Architecture and at the redirect Toyota Rise. See WP:BRD.  Stepho  talk  11:45, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Maybe we should wait for the official announcement though, it'd better work that way. 36.71.53.94 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:58, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Agreed, we can remove mention of the "Rise" and/or "Raize" from articles. That preserves the spirit of WP:CRYSTALBALL too.  Stepho  talk  12:03, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Alex, you said that the name "Toyoat Raize" has been confirmed. Can you provide your sources? We have one weak source that says "Rise" and one weak source that says "Raize". We need something far more concrete. toyota.jp has nothing yet.  Stepho  talk  11:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Split the first and second generation?

The reusage of nameplates had been common in the automotive industry lately. Most cars would just split it from the old one if it's different enough, for example Chevrolet Trailblazer (crossover), MG ZS (crossover) or Suzuki Baleno (2015). As the first-gen and the second-gen Rocky are very different, should we split this one? Andra Febrian (talk) 15:10, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

That would be the same case as Honda Mobilio, which the differing generations are very different to each other, while maintaining the same article. 182.30.137.85 (talk) 03:06, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

No need to split until the article becomes too large to handle. IP, I see your edits a lot (I think, it's hard to tell) and I invite you to create a username as it will make conversation easier, and it will lend more credence to your edits. Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  09:16, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, it's too small to slice it up. It would need a summary page, plus a page for each generation. Each would only be 1 or 2 paragraph's, making them not worth the hassle.  Stepho  talk  18:37, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
