Seat will end production of the Cordoba, the sedan version of its Ibiza small car, when the new Ibiza arrives in 2008.
Seat is dropping the Cordoba, one of the few sedan small-car derivatives, because of slow sales. In the first six months of this year Seat sold 19,944 Cordobas, down 14.9 percent from the same period last year.
"Customers are leaving traditional sedan derivatives, and are turning to modular vehicles," said Ricardo Conesa, a Madrid-based consultant at Urban Science.
