Talk:European Car of the Year

Disputed
Evidence is that the first production hatchback was the Innocenti A40 in 1962. The original design, Austin A40, had upper and lower tailgates, Innocenti in their manufactured variant replaced these with a one piece hatch. http://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/austin/a30a35/innocenti-austin-a40/

I don't want to edit the article just yet, until others have checked the facts and confirmed them, preferably from independent sources. Otherwise someone will likely come along and revert it and we will soon end up with an unnecessary edit war, so I think the best way is to merely flag it as disputed and wait for some sensible response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiger99 (talk • contribs) 18:48, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

But how about Citroën's pre-war Traction Avant hatchback, of which the Wiki page states "The first hatchback automobile was called the 11 CV Commerciale (commercial)"? Heckmotor97 (talk) 15:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Colourful commentary
The comments section is written in a rather non-Wikipedic style &mdash; the very fact that it's called "comments" is a warning sign. Unless they are comments which were made by the judges or perhaps journalists (and we'd need references of course) then they really need to be changed to something more matter-of-fact; they're currently unreferenced and often somewhat in breach of WP:NPOV. – Kieran T  (' talk ') 17:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
