Crap car names....

something that really makes me snigger or just plain angry is crappy cars that the manufacturers have added another name to to try and make it sound better.

examples:-

Metro "Ascot" and Metro "Kensington"

- theres no way you can make a Metro posh - you could super glue the crown jewels to the roof and it would still be a crappy rust bucket

others that spring to mind, the Corsa "flair" (yeah right), Escort "bonus", and the dreadfully named Fiesta "classic"

anyone got any more to add?

..yeah, anyway that was atleast 200 miles from a dealership selling the thing.

Nissan Cedric

Just about any "special" edition has a crappy name. Does the Clio Ripcurl actually come with anything vaguely surfing related? A roof rack? Neoprene seats? A special board wax holder? Nope!

Renault Clio "Campus", you certainly are Camp-us if your a bloke driving one...

was never quite sure if LUXE was short for Luxury.....

believe me there was NOTHING of any luxary about that car.

Golf GTI TDI PD150. Snappy title!
