Topic: Free to access automotive media

[DHoffmann]

In the spirit of the online archive thread I though I'd put together a  list of websites that provide media content without a registration process so that anyone interested can access it.

Some of these can be considered archival, but most focus on current and recent models thus I feel they deserve a separate thread.

This list is by no means exhaustive, and I very much welcome any further additions that people may have to add to this list.

I have purposefully left websites that require registration off this as they often require a confirmation process involving media credentials so wouldn't be applicable to everyone.

  Thank you! Good resource!

[DHoffmann]

I've added Mopar under automotive, and also a motorcycle section with a further 7 links.

Again, if anyone knows of further manufacturers that have free-to-access media website please add them here so we can compile as complete a list as possible.

Added Arash and Rinspeed.
