SEAT Málaga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SEAT Málaga is a four-door saloon produced by Spanish automaker SEAT from 1985 to 1992. It is the saloon version of the hatchback Ibiza, which is a supermini. In fact, its underpinnings were based upon those of the SEAT Ronda, a rebadged version of a Fiat Ritmo (of the post-1985 face-lift generation). In this sense the Málaga most closely resembled the Fiat Regata, Fiat's own saloon version of the Ritmo.
The car was spacious and economical, but let down by heavy steering and flimsy build quality. Production ended in 1992, well after the Volkswagen Group took over SEAT. It sold relatively well in Spain, but did poorly in export markets, despite sharing the same System Porsche engines as the Ibiza. Its successor, the Córdoba, was launched at the end of 1993.
The Málaga was sold in countries such as Greece as the SEAT Gredos, because the word Málaga is pronounced Malaka, which means somebody who masturbates himself.
