The Aygo name

I was told somewhere that the name "Aygo" was used, because they [Toyota] wanted to name the car in fashion to the iPod, i.e. iGo, but without the legal trouble. 159753 16:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Aygo does not come from 英語(Eigo), the Japanese word for English, because 英語 is pronounced "えいご(A-go), and not Ay-go(アイゴ).

It comes from "i go". Plus, that would be completely crazy if it was named "English".

manufacturer name

An anon had converted the link "Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech" to be "Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech". I believe that Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech is a legitimate joint venture name and its own legal entity, and the anon didn't provide reasons for the change, so I reverted it back. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Kolin

I think that call Kolin as "city" isn't correct. It have only 30 000 people, so its more like town. And no catedral, so wa cant call it as city in acording to british english too. Beside it that factory isnt exactly in Kolin. In the real it is in fields betwean Kolin and small Village Ovcary. Town Kolin is just owner of land under factory, but it is in district (area) of village Ovcary. Maybe thay will change soon. They are now fighting about duty from TPCA. But this mistook is in czech wikipedia too. Its just detail. But I Kolin is realy just Town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.113.107.46 (talk) 09:35, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Back at school (early 1960's, in the Netherlands), I did indeed learn that in British English a town is a "city" only if it has a cathedral. However, I am not so sure whether this is defined by the (British) English language, or just by British tradition and/or legislation.

However, in continental Europe – more exactly in those countries that once belonged to the German Empire – a town may have been granted "city rights", allowing it to call itself a "city". These city rights could have several forms, like the right to organise markets, or the right to levy taxes, or the right to build a defense wall, etc. Viewed this way, British "cities" can be seen als having received the right to have a cathedral. Admittedly, the latter is a church-related right, whereas the former is a civilian right. But the Church of England being a state church, this difference may have been smaller than it seems to be. Anyway, the size of the town/city is completely irrelevant.

Generally, it is more appropriate to relate the notion of a "city" to the definition applicable in the area where the town/city considered is located, than to the language. This way, the question becomes whether or not Kolín is a "city" in the continental-European sense.

As the regions now comprising Chech Republic, i.e. Bohemia and Moravia, used to be a part of the German empire, it is logical to check the German Wikipedia (I can't read Czech myself). There I read:

Unter den Königen Karl IV. und Wenzel IV. erhielt die Stadt zahlreiche Privilegien und prosperierte beträchtlich. Sie gehörte zu den bedeutendsten Königsstädten in Böhmen. Im Jahre 1437 wurde hier eine Burg errichtet, die später zu einem Schloss und einer Brauerei umgebaut wurde.
(Translated: Under the kings Karl IV and Wenzel IV, the city(!) received many privileges and prospered considerably. It was one of the most important royal cities in Bohemia. In 1437, a castle was built here, which later was reconstructed to become a palace and a brewery.)

So according to continental-European standards, Kolín was indeed a "city"!

I cannot say anything about the other issues mentioned, such as the territorial and taxation claims. But they do not seem to be very relevant fot this article. Nor is the question whether or not it is a "city", by the way. So this entire discussion is irrelevant for the article...

I don't know if Kolin is a city of town, but I have fixed the problem by changing 'city of Kolin' to just 'Kolin'. It is still grammatically correct. Readers can click on the Kolin link if they want to know more details about Kolin.  Stepho  (talk) 23:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposal: Merging articles on Peugeot 107, Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo?

See this proposal.

Driver aids aygo crazy

In the article it's said that the aygo crazy has no steering, quite odd, perhaps it should be no power steering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.132.187.144 (talk) 11:15, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

BYD clone

It doesn't even look similar, is there any source that BYD is making a clone? Because the BYD looks like any subcompact, like the Fit, Yaris, iM, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivey-kun (talk • contribs) 02:38, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Agreed, let's remove it.  Stepho  talk  23:05, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

End of production date

The article variously says production ended in 2021 or 2022. Does any body know which?  Stepho  talk  05:39, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Toyota Aygo in Israel

With the global economic crisis affected demand of Aygo out of Europe, Toyota was looked for other markets. The apparent success of third-generation Yaris here helped with that... Allo002 (talk) 18:40, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
