I believe it would be more sensible to have the Dignity merged into Proudia. What do you think? Bravada, talk - 02:17, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, considering the short length of this article a merger would be sensible. I also think that these are some interesting choices for car names, Proudia and Dignity. Just like the Integra. Its really a quite interesting marketing strategy, take a positive adjective and twist it into a car name. BTW: I also translated the prices, they're about the equivalent of an MB S550 I guess, $84,000 USD. Signature ^brendel 02:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remember that those are Japanese cars, Japanese "perceive" English quite differently :D BTW, I believe that translating prices to USD is an example of non-worldwide view. Why not GBP, EUR or CHF? Many readers have to convert it anyway, so it's quite bad practice to favor just one group. Have you used the rate from today or the period when the model actually cost ¥9,900K? Let me also remind you that without the knowledge of the Japanese pricing intricacies (taxes, relations to other cars/goods) this info is quite pointless. Cheers, Bravada, talk - 03:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're right. I didn't really think about it, sorry. I did, however, think of the varying exchange rates and the exclusion of Japanese taxes-I just figured the reader would take that into consideration himself and see the conversion as a very rough figure. I just wanted to show whether or not this is an ultra-lux car like a Rolls, a high-end like an S-Class, a moderately priced flagship like the Q, or a lower priced such as a G35. Also, maybe we could mention that a Dignity costs roughly as much as a S550 in the US? Seems to be somewhat of an accurate statement-again no one should take these converted ideas literally-they are just to be seen as "blurred" rough ideas. On the other hand that might be US-centric as well... (I've removed the "pricing translation") Regards, Signature ^brendel 06:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I read it, I see that I was "a bit" harsh - seems like I'm not good at controlling my WikiStress and I apologize for that. I am happy that we agree though. I guess the relevant info would be to say whether it was cheaper or more expensive then the President and the Century, and perhaps than the W220 if we can get pricing for Japan for early 2000s. But I guess more interesting than pricing in yen or whatever currency is that apparently the Prince and Princess Akishino use a Dignity rather than the usual Imperial Household "fleet" Centuries that e.g. the Emperor or Empress usually ride in.

So, do we merge or not? I'd say we should also merge the Centennial/Equus, as essentially we are talking about the same car here! Bravada, talk - 14:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I'm in favor of a merger. Actually your info on the imperial family was quite interesting, I did see a picture of pricess Akishino, and actually wondered what kind of car she was riding in... anyways, merge. Regards, Signature ^brendel 17:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fumihito factoid

Is this actually relevant? I would expect members of royal families to use many different vehicles over their lifetimes, with flagship luxury models from local manufacturers typically being favoured where possible. If Fumihito, Crown Prince Akishino has publicly expressed a particular preference for the model and these statements have received significant coverage from reliable sources, then I can see this being a relevant piece of information. Otherwise it's just random unsourced trivia. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:32, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Being used by a member of Japan's royal family is indeed relevant. Their car choices are closely watched and have significant implications for the manufacturers. Mr.choppers | ✎ 14:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide sources to back this up? I don't see how a public figure, no matter how prominent, happening to use a particular vehicle is encyclopaedic material rather than tabloid gossip fodder unless there is sourcing to demonstrate this. Otherwise every single article about a Jaguar or Bentley would be full of statements like "the Duke of Edinburgh was once seen riding from the airport in a blue 2001 model" or something.
