Probably also counting each model year, e.x. if all Civic LX trims from 2012-2022 can have this done, that probably counts as '10 models'.

- bena 4y agoHonestly hadn't even considered that factor. But yes, you're right, they do refer to it as the 2012 model, the 2013 model, etc. Each being distinct in the eyes of the manufacturer. So, from Honda, if their entire line is outfitted with the offending system for 10 years, that's 130 models just from Honda.
- to11mtm 4y agoIn a weird way, it -does- make sense from a capability standpoint, if a bit ridiculous of a marketing standpoint. Let's go full tin-hat and say I want to see where a car has been. By looking up the plate, I can get the registration. By getting the registration I can get Year/Make/Model/Trim. Now with that I can hit a dictionary of the 'best' data provider for that vehicle. A proper sales conversation would ask for some matrix of covered vehicles, and use that to compare to what they already have in portfolio, possibly account for volume request discounts, etc...
