big_kev Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Any one know where the names Sharan and Alhambra come from, the galaxy is obvious but what are the meanings of the other two ? I know the Sharan is Carp ( think I spelt this correctly ) in Croation but where did VW get the name ? Quote
teresa Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 i know there is a palace called alhambra in granada in spain dunno if thats where they got it from the meaning of sharon is derived from a persian word meaning 'carrier of kings' see link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Sharan Quote

Jimbo73 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 I like that 'The carrier of kings' ---- Too much though went into that.. can you imagine the boardroom talk about that one.. As far as I can guess all of Seats cars are named after regions/cities of spain. Ibiza, Toledo, Alhambra, Leon. I am sure if this is wrong I till get told soon rather than later.... lol Quote

MrT Posted January 2, 2007 Report Posted January 2, 2007 Ford at one stage started to name their cars after porny mags such as Fiesta and Escort. Quote
Guest Cepheus Posted January 2, 2007 Report Posted January 2, 2007 Glad they stopped before bringing out the Asian Babes 1.6LX or the Readers Wives 2.0 zetec! :angry2: Quote

MrT Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 "Galaxy Gals" is a worrying thought as the Galaxy is big model that can fit seven people at a time! Quote

El Dingo Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 I thought that VW named their cars after winds, e.g. Passat, Scirocco? Isn't a Sharan a wind???? Anyone remember the Granada 'Spanking Monthly' special edition? Quote
