Why is this page called subcompact car? I believed it was close to universal to call it golf-class cars? 2006-11-1681.233.73.177/Håkan
US-centric. Like it says atcompact car, the size class descriptions are by no means universal, and in fact relate principally to the market in the USA.
Support - BUT, with the merge going the other way. A quick bit of research shows that the term supermini is far more widely spread than subcompact, which doesn't seem to permeate outside of the USA.Grunners (talk)15:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Subcompact is an American classification which should not be combined with the current European classification, although a European Supermini section has been added to the Subcompact article showing European vehicles. No need to combine as See other section can take a reader to either article.(Vegavairbob (talk)02:04, 19 June 2010 (UTC))[reply]
Oppose - The term "subcompact" is clearly defined in the United States (see the EPA's vehicle size classifications here). On the other hand, the descriptor "supermini" is inherently anoxymoron - similar to "jumbo shrimp" - since most supermini cars are often neither "super" cars nor truly "mini" in size! Moreover, the origin of this term seems to be a "Boastful Superlative" that was cooked up for an automotive publication as a comparison to the originalMini, and not a defined term such as "B-segment small cars". For example, the MSN editorialWhat the Heck Is the B-Segment? does not contain the term "supermini" to describe the reviewed "subcompact" cars. Thanks!CZmarlin (talk)21:47, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
support- the new article should be titled b segment cars seeing as that is in wide use inside major auto manufactureres. it is also not an oxymorone and is officialy used by euro ncap.—Precedingunsigned comment added by76.85.180.44 (talk)22:12, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
