Actually, no, because the model search is by default done on the start of the name. But it is maybe not a big problem. It is difficult to say how people search the site, I do not know if they would rather do a search by typing a model name or browse it from link to link.



we have Caterham: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Caterham.html
maybe not on the homepage though (as only the most common ones are there)


As Dsl said, it is sometimes better to keep a working system if the changes are not really important.
Anyway, in the next version of the site (when it will be done...) all that will be better handled, as names will be changeable more easily without much impact to the cars linked to them, and we'll be able to add navigation links between makes/models for helping the users (e.g. on the Elan listing, we could then add a link saying "if you search for the newer one, check the M100 Elan", or a link to Caterham & Kia on the main Lotus page, which is not possible currently).
