Talk:City car

message: The statement "microcars which are two-seaters;" is wrong. [] shows a new four seater with a fairly clear description from a reliable source and many microcars have more than two seats Zundapp Janus for example. Mighty Antar 10:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I musdt say many automobile websites use wrong terms. I've seen the Fiat Punto be called a compact car, the Twingo a supermini... City cars simply can't be two-seaters, therefore the Smart Fortwo isn't one. I guess there might be one or three-seater microcars, but the most common ones are two-seaters. -- NaBUru38 (talk) 01:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  On the contrary, "compact car" and "super mini" are just descriptive terms. Like most car classifications they are relative and non-specific. Organisations like Euro NCAP use them only in this relative way so that you can compare your car with a near sized rival, not as a precise classification - all the cars from Smart to Lamborghini do the same Euro Ncap test. Like most unscientific classifications, everyone knows what a particular class of car is (or at least thinks they do), until they try to define it in very precise terms. Are the Lotus Elan and Lotus Carlton both sports cars? If you park your Fiat Punto alongside a Range Rover, which is the compact car?  Mighty Antar (talk) 11:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Opppose. A-segment is EU specific. City car is generic and more inclusive. Rmhermen (talk) 20:20, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

text: Support. There is clear overlap of two different terms for the same thing. Much like supermini and B-segment. If I was provocative, the whole A/B/C... segment series of articles seems to be predicated on only one EU document. Would be good to have a discussion on what is the proper common name. I would suspect it is City car in this instance. <B>Warren</B> (talk) 23:35, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

text: Support. They are both generic terms without any precise definition. The terms relating to market segment are more common in formal trade/technical journalism, City car etc. are more common in commercial publications, but sometimes you get both.

text: Support. As per Warren above. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 07:00, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
