Article is currently at AfD, where I found it (in one-line stub state) and set about expanding. DYK will naturally be contingent on it closing as keep.AfD has closed as keep. Have at it, boys. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:45, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi The Bushranger, review follows: Article created 28 November; article just exceeds minimum length; article is well written;' article is cited to reliable csources throughout; no copyright violation or overly close paraphrasing is apparent; hook is interesting and cited to a reliable source that checks out; QPQ done. Nice save from AfD! - Dumelow (talk) 19:49, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but unless someone knows something about cars, it is unclear what the subject of this article is. A tiny description would make it more interesting, IMO. Would you consider adding something like:- ALT1:
... that the new Panoz Avezzano sports car is named after a town in Italy that was destroyed by an earthquake? - ALT2: ... that the Panoz Avezzano, unveiled at the 2016 Petit Le Mans, is named after a town in Italy that was destroyed by an earthquake? Yoninah (talk) 00:39, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I do need sometimes to remind myself that "Panoz" doesn't trip as many popular-culture bells as "Ferrari" or "Jaguar" would, I admit. The ALT2 there is the one I think would be best. Thanks! - The Bushranger One ping only 00:48, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. Since I added a hook fact, calling on another review to approve ALT2. Pinging @Dumelow:. Yoninah (talk) 00:51, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- ALT2 checks out with appropriate inline citations. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:51, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Also, Skysder & The Bushranger, any chance of getting a photograph in the article? An article about a sports car just seems lacking without one... --Usernameunique (talk) 02:52, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- I agree completely, but unfortunatly the Avezzano is just too new; there *are* a few pictures on Flickr Commons but they are all -nc licensed. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
