Crap car names....

POLSKI Polonez

PROTON Jumbuck

KIA Shuma

HYUNDAI Pony

Nissan S-Cargo. Presumably because it resembled a snail from the side.

Mitsubishi Pajero...

Ask a Spaniard to translate Pajero for you and suddenly the 'Mitsubishi W@nker' has lost it's charm.

quashqui?

"Be prepared for the ride of your life. Sportka SE has got a powerful 95 PS 1.6i engine that fires you from 0 to 62 in a breathtaking 9.7 seconds. It has leather trimmed seats and its wide 16” alloy wheels grip the road like claws…"

The boys in marketing sure can come up with some sh*te when the have to...

I in fact do like the Japanese ridiculous names:

The Mazda Bongo Friendee;
Super Town Ace
Delica
Suzuki Shatner's Bassoon.
Monk's Velvet surprise.

Just so indulgent and evocative!

A former neighbour had a Nissan Vanette 'Nice Rack'. Cracked me up every time I walked past.

Subaru Impresa STI

It just makes me feel uncomfortable!
