'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] [[Automobile]]s''' exists to co-ordinate the effort to compile articles on all types and classes of [[automobile]]s, automotive parts and technology of the [[automotive industry]].  Additionally, it has the goal of presenting all articles in a consistent, legible and informative format. WikiProject Automobiles is a child project of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport|WikiProject Transport]], and a parent project of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Car|WikiProject Japan/Japanese car taskforce]].
