Martin thinks, and I kinda agree, that "motorcar" and "car" would be confusing.

I think there's three potential ways forward:

o  Change the meaning of "motorcar" to only refer to cars, not trucks, busses, etc.  This would require a new tag for all double tracked motorized vehicles to be introduced.  "motorcar" has been used over 200,000 times, so this would cause some confusion.

o  Introduce a new tag for "two-tracked, small passenger vehicles". "car" would seem a natural fit, except for the potential confusion with "motorcar"

o  Deprecate "motorcar" and introduce two new tags for "double tracked motorized vehicles" and "two-tracked, small passenger vehicles".  It is not obvious to me what these tags should be called to avoid confusion.
