Talk:Mitsubishi Cordia

Cordia as a coupé
I've left in User:ApolloBoy's hatchback tag. However, please note the following sources:
 * Mitsubishi Motors South Africa calls it a hatchback here, and then when you click through that link, calls it a coupé here . Thanks, Mitsubishi, you're a really big help...
 * Carfolio.com - the 1600 turbo is referred to as a 2+2 FHC (fixed head coupé) here.
 * Compare the height of the Cordia with the Mitsubishi Tredia in both articles (figures culled from Carfolio.com and Auto.vl.ru . The Cordia has a roofline two inches lower than the sedan. Hatchbacks have the same roofline, at least in Britain, and the original author is using British English.
 * Also, in Britain, it's more likely to be a coupé than a hatchback if the rear passengers' headroom is compromised by the slope of the rear glass, caused by a shortened roofline - hatchbacks are basically the same as sedans from the C-pillar forwards except in a very select few cases. If you look at the article image, the Cordia is the same only from the B-pillar forwards.
 * The ol' Google test: "Cordia coupe" gets 378 hits, "Cordia hatchback" gets 87 (revised figures as of 2006-07-06).

I don't dispute that it's very borderline, hence I've left the hatchback tag in. However, equally, there's more than enough evidence to keep the coupé tag as well. Regards -- DeLarge 14:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Edited -- DeLarge 23:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Just curious: is there any reason why the external links are indented? Haven't seen that before. But since I've read your request to... a certain someone &mdash; regarding the div tags, I've not interfered in case this is a rendering/compatibility issue too! I'd be interested to know though. – Kieran T  ( talk  23:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I use the colon at the start of the line to avoid them all running together on a single line. I suppose I should use the asterisk to bullet them, or just put  to prevent any indentation. Or I could . If someone had edited that I wouldn't have minded. I'll go poke around some WP:FAs and see what the favoured standard is.

 * Having checked the vehicle pages at [WP:FA#Transport]] (e.g. Ford Mustang, Mini, etc), they seem to use a bulleted list, so I'll edit that.


 * Cool. And don't worry, I'm not assuming you're an anti-changes ogre! ;-) Bullets certainly seem to be the standard, at least the de facto one, on most other non-motoring articles I've worked on. –  Kieran T  ( talk  11:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Passage with mostly opinion
The paragraph beginning "Many Cordias suffered from poor manufacturing techniques in late models from the AB onwards..." was originally a very long run-on sentence, with many comments that read like opinion or advertising ("quickly extinguished this new competitor", "absolutely left Mitsubishi in the dust"), entirely lacking any citations. I have attempted to copy edit and add some wiki links to separate out factual information from opinion, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable about the subject should continue.
