While trying to get friendly URLs in WordPress, I discovered this WordPress forums post, which states:

WordPress has a monumental issue forbidding you to use the same
category slug more than once. It disallows you from having a category
tree like this:

Cars:
- Honda (mysite.com/cars/honda)
- Toyota (mysite.com/cars/toyota)

Trucks:
- Honda (mysite.com/trucks/honda)
- Toyota (mysite.com/trucks/toyota)

So the question is, how bad is this from an SEO point-of-view to use something like:

mysite.com/cars/1-honda/4-red
mysite.com/trucks/2-honda/5-red
mysite.com/motors/3-honda/6-red

where 1,2,3,4,5,6 are the category ID's.

Would you recommend using this instead:

mysite.com/cars/1-honda/1-red

or this:

mysite.com/cars/car-honda/color-red

Dashes are considered separators just like slashes are so this will be fine from an SEO point of view. An alternative would be just to use slashes for consistency in your URLs:

mysite.com/cars/1/honda/4/red
mysite.com/trucks/2/honda/5/red
mysite.com/motors/3/honda/6/red
