You Can Help Name this New SUV, but it Can’t Be Carry McCarface

SEAT is hosting a contest to name its new seven-seater SUV.

And before you think of submitting something like Carry McCarface, there’s one important rule to the competition: the name must be taken from the Spanish geography. The model being named as part of the competition will sit above the current Ateca and proposals can be submitted starting today. The finalists will be announced in September, after which voting will begin and the winner will be revealed soon after.

According to the Spanish automaker, ever since it announced the launch of the new SUV in March, it has received proposals from all over Spain on what to call it. As a result, SEAT has decided to take advantage of the opportunity by hosting the contest, which is a first for the brand.

The finalists will be announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 12, and public voting will take place from September 12 to September 25. Look for the new of SEAT’s new SUV to be announced on October 15.

“SEAT has decided to call upon every fan of the brand to propose and later vote the name of the new SUV which is set to make history,” said SEAT president Luca de Meo. “In our efforts to launch #SEATseekingName, we have redefined the typical process in order to engage the public and followers of the brand all over the world in the project from start to finish.”

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs.

And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
