Forums > Suggestions > Game Group Suggestion: Automobille: Cadillac

Hmm...most automobile groups are for specific models of cars, not the company name in general - not for fantasy versions of a car, and you need to be able to drive it.
If you find multiple games using a specific model, like in the DLC "The Crew: Cadillac Escalade 2012" then a group would work for that model.
Also the only game simply named 'Cadillac' that I found is a card game? Not sure if the car in "Cadillac & Dinosaurs" game is a real model or cartoon-inspired.
Maybe someone else has some suggestions?

I don't know, but the automobile groups as they are currently organized here, focus on specific models, not whole brands. (which I why I asked for 2nd opinions)
Meanwhile, the cars are also possible to document at the IGCD database, a database wholly focused on cars in games: www.igcd.net
p.s. for me cars are just boxes for transport, the finer details elude me.

[Q --start Rwolf wrote--]I don't know, but the automobile groups as they are currently organized here, focus on specific models, not whole brands. [/Q --end Rwolf wrote--] I prefer in that way (specific vehicle, than the brand). But, what happens when we have the same car model and the car has another name depending on the country?
For example, (https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/automobile-nissan-micra) and (https://igcd.net/search.php?title=Nissan+March)

this seems like the sort of concern that may be trivial to implement in The New Site (eg. all games in groups a b and c are also in group z), and something perhaps not worth troubling over prior to that time

Supporting 'child' groups in a sensible way (so not just a list of links we have to maintain by hand) is a planned feature. At a minimum it'd be automatic links between 'parent' and 'child' groups, but probably allowing listing games in this-group-or-any-child-group would also be good.
Automatically populating a group according to some rules would not be a goal of that feature, but you can use the new game browser to intersect groups, if desired.
