It looks like 4 Entries I made in regards to the cars in Initial D has completely disappeared. What's going on here, given one of the trivia listings is partially incorrect and one of the trivia was meant to correct the US Facts of the Corolla.

I don't remember if it was your entry in particular, but there were a couple of them that talked about the Toyota MR-S and another car that weren't in the show at all.

For starters, there is a Toyota MR-S in the Initial D Arcade Game. Which is the Toyota MR-2 Spyder in the US. Toyota really didn't want to have a sports car with the nickname of "Mrs." in the US.

Here is the link to the SegaRosso Website of the car in Version 3:

http://initiald.sega.jp/ac_ver03/car_variation/toyota_05.html

I made references to several cars:

Toyota Corolla GT-S and SR5 (aka Trueno and Levin respectfully in Japan; I gave the trivia concerning the US Spec Cars considering that most of the page views might be from the US plus there was a trivia entry that had references to the European and Australian spec cars as well).
Nissan Silvia, 180SX, and Sileighty
Mazada RX7 FC Savanah and FD

Yes, but that's just for the arcade game, NOT the anime or manga.

That aside (just for trivia sake not related to the Anime), why was my other stuff deleted?
