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.”

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
