Talk:SEAT Córdoba

Untitled

Jaret: The Cordoba SX 1.8 16v 129bhp (95kW) from 1996 is not even mentioned. I own one and I consider it the best model. It has the fine curves of the old body and it is equipped with the best engine for it's time. An expert should expand the article and mention it as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.85.228.13 (talk) 10:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Related: Golf Mk4?

Are the Volkswagen Golf Mk4 related to the Córdoba Mk2, as such the Golf Mk3 are related to the Córdoba Mk1?

No, as the article states, both generations of Córdoba are related to the comtemporary Polo models, not Golf. Letdorf (talk) 09:57, 14 August 2008 (UTC).

Córdoba, Argentinan city?

It is well known that SEAT has named several of its model after SPANISH provinces or island: Toledo, Córdoba, Ibiza, León, Málaga... Nothing to do with Argentinan cities... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.118.160 (talk) 20:45, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, more likely to be the Spanish Córdoba, but we really need a source to say for sure. Letdorf (talk) 17:23, 4 January 2010 (UTC).

What kind of source do you need more than the maker trend? SEAT cars named after spanish towns, provinces or cities, all after FIAT and SEAT broke their partnership in 1982: Ronda (Fiat/Seat Ritmo revamp) Marbella (Fiat/Seat panda revamp), Ibiza, Malaga, Toledo, Leon, Arosa, Inca (later sold as VW Caddy). The only cars that were not named with a spanish city were the SEAT Fura (Fiat/Seat 127 revamp sold for only 3 years), the Terra (a Seat Marbella based minivan) the Alhambra (a spanish monument that is in Granada, and almost the same car than the VW Sharan) and the new Exeo. And by the way, ALL the towns named "Cordoba" in the world owe their names to the Spanish Cordoba. Even the argentine one. 85.136.48.41 (talk) 20:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is a strong pattern there, but on the other hand, there has been at least one South American-themed model name - the SEAT Inca. Frankly, without a source, the article shouldn't speculate either way, IMHO. Letdorf (talk) 13:16, 20 January 2010 (UTC).

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordoba

Here you have a list of the towns named after Cordoba. You have 6 Cordobas at the United States, one at Philippines, one at Mexico, three at Colombia. Also you can find at least one "Avenida de Cordoba" in almost each important city in Spain. Now I ask you: Why does a spanish car maker name one of its models about a city that is in Argentina and not about the three in Colombia or the six in the United States or the ones at Philippines and Mexico? Why does a spanish car maker name one of their cars with the name of a town that is in the other side of the world when it name its models with the names of spanish towns, and this particular model is named after a spanish town that was the first one of the Cordobas?

Also, the article on the spanish wikipedia (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_Cordoba) says:

"El SEAT Córdoba es un automóvil de turismo del segmento B producido por el fabricante español SEAT. Su nombre viene dado por la ciudad española de Córdoba, ubicada en la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía." The SEAT Cordoba is a segment B car made by the spanish car maker SEAT. It was named for the Spanish city of Cordoba, at the Autonomous Community of Andalucia.

And please, don't tell me that the SEAT Inca is named about an american topic... Inca is a town on the island of Majorca, and SEAT chose that name because that. Look at http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca_%28Baleares%29

Ah, I forgot the SEAT Altea too... http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altea_%28Alicante%29 Of course it is not named with the name of the Asteroid nº 119, that is named Altea too, but with the name of the spanish town (again).

If you don't believe me, I can give you the e-mail of my cousin in Barcelona who works in the plant making the cars, and you can ask him about this thing... 85.136.48.41 (talk) 00:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that assertions such as these should have a reliable source. I wasn't aware of the Balearic town of Inca, thanks for pointing that out. But I think asking your cousin in Barcelona would be original research! Letdorf (talk) 13:02, 21 January 2010 (UTC).
