Talk:Talbot

Wiederbelebung des Namens
Ich weiß auch nicht, was Peugeot so treibt. Es wäre doch ein leichtes und vor allem ein elegantes gewesen den 406 Coupé als Talbot Coupé zu präsentieren. Jetzt steht der 407 Coupé in den Startlöchern und schon wieder passiert nichts dergleichen. Rolz-reus 15:41, 25. Aug 2005 (CEST) (und Talbot-Samba-Kabriolett-Fahrer)

Date of closure
Does anyone know the exact date (day and month) that the last Talbot passenger car was made and in what country?

Car List
We should add the list of cars built by Talbot.

Brand or marque?
Isn't "marque" the term used in the case of cars - brand suonds a bit too prosaic to my ears.78.49.78.174 (talk) 09:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Dead right - that, in fact, is why I looked in here! Change it? 77.181.159.208 (talk) 15:27, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, & done.  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  16:05, 15 April 2011 (UTC)


 * MARQUE! Just plain weird creepy cliquey talk. surely you've also got a better name for a spade than spade that'd be AWESOME Too. Eddaido (talk) 23:15, 16 April 2011 (UTC)


 * And you're back with your ignorance. "Marque" is a commonplace in the industry, & has been for decades. That you find it " plain weird creepy cliquey talk" doesn't change that. Neither does your blatantly false effort to characterize it as a French usage, since it's very common in Britain. That you have never heard it doesn't make it untrue.

 * Always been here. Some have even become so dedicated to promoting it as to go through Wikipedia making the changes to this 'new' word. One of them tells me the push seems to come from North America. That change in Talbot was not made by anyone with anything to do with me, It was made from a French address. Are the names Adolphe Clément and Alexandre Darracq French? Why do you choose to use this marque word with regard to Talbot? Why do you not use this word for Canadian car brands? Why not use it for Chevrolet (Louis), Chrysler, Ford, Cadillac products? It is just some simple-minded people using what they probably dearly imagine to be a cute foreign word, without understanding its use, for a 'foreign' car. Am I wrong? Eddaido (talk) 22:59, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing "new" about this word. I've seen it in use in the industry since the '70s (if not earlier). (The fact you haven't doesn't govern.) The change from "marque" to "brand" was, perhaps, from France; the change back you attributed to France was by me. I'm not from France. As for why I haven't changed it elsewhere, I haven't edited many Chrysler, Ford, or Cad products, & AFAIR, "brand" or "marque" hasn't arisen. (And Louis Chevrolet isn't a company, but a person, so not an issue. I might call Frontenac a marque...) European companies should conform to Brit usage, which is "marque", not "brand". (I'd use it with Jag, Bentley, & TVR, too, so "France" does not enter into it, despite your fiction.) Furthermore, you're reviving an old issue with no new argument. Misrepresenting things does not gain you support. "It is just some simple-minded people using what they probably dearly imagine to be a cute foreign word" Calling me simple-minded doesn't, either. I'm using the correct term. What puzzles me is why you care. What, exactly, bothers you about the word so much? It appears to be nothing beyond "I just don't like it".

 * See Rover Company, Austin Rover Group, or more importantly Chrysler Europe and Rootes Group which are closely associated with this article. All these articles use the word "marque" over "brand". As pointed out by others, marque is commonly used in automobile articles. Saying it is "plain weird creepy cliquey talk" is akin to "I don't like it", which is frowned upon at Wikipedia. --Biker Biker (talk) 08:51, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh Hellé
Can anybody subsantiate Mariette Delangle ran a Talbot at the '31 Italian Grand Prix? TREKphiler  any time you're ready, Uhura  17:46, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * She's not listed at teamdan.com and that's usually a pretty reliable source. DH85868993 (talk) 00:09, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thx.  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  00:14, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * She's also not listed at racing-database.com (navigate to Formula 1-->Pre-War Races-->1931-->IX Gran Premio d´Italia). DH85868993 (talk) 00:24, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * That one is excellent! Thx again. Now to fix the Nice page...  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  01:02, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Headquarters
I have amended the list just inserted. I am not confident this is a good idea to detail the locations like this. I am not confident that it is accurate between 1979 and 1986. Is there good reason to believe AllCarIndex is a reliable source? Thanks Eddaido (talk) 10:16, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
