Hi everyone! I'm working on a car spotting app and I'm in need of a comprehensive database that includes vehicle makes, models, trims, and release years. I've already found the NHTSA API for US cars, which has been a great resource, but now I'm looking for something similar that covers EU and UK vehicles. Ideally, I would love a service or API that offers good coverage and is either free or low-cost. If anyone knows of public datasets, APIs, or even commercial providers, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions. Thanks a lot!

Just a heads up, working with automotive data can be tricky. The distinctions between makes, models, and trims might seem straightforward, but they can be quite confusing. For example, the Ford Mustang Mach-E is still a Ford Mustang, but then you have the Dodge Ram 1500 which just goes by RAM now. Keep an eye out for these nuances; they can trip you up if you're not careful. I know this from experience, so just wanted to give you a heads up!
I appreciate the warning! I hadn't considered those details. This project might get complicated!
