Stupid Car Names

[ADDYBOY1982]

Am bored at work, and have just been surfing the net when I came across these - what were they thinking???

Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal
Subaru Gravel Express
Mazda Bongo Friendee
Daihatsu Rugger Field Sports Resin Top
Nissan Prarie Joy
Suzuki Every Joy Pop Turbo
Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear Cruising Active
Mazda Proceed Marvie
Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard
Isuzu 20 Giga Light Dump
Daihatsu Rocky
AMC Gremlin
Dodge Swinger
Honda Acty Crawler
Mazda Carol
Mitsubishi Guts

And my personal favourite: the Nissan Pantry Boy Supreme.

I've left out the obvious Ford Probe, Isuzu Bighorn etc.. but has anyone got any others?

The Audi "shooting brake" concept?

[andy mac]

they are not so much silly names, but bad translations that haven't been changed.

[R555SSH]

TVR's 'Orgasmic Living' proposed motto still takes the (limp) biscuit. What was the russian thinking?

[TheLemming]

Always kinda liked the name of the AMC Gremlin.

Bearing in mind the rest of the car was that terrible the name is the only part anyone could concievably like...

The name really should have been kept for a small pocket hot hatch. Small nippy and evil

Instead it's forever tainted by the lashup that was the AMC model.

The Venturi Fetish!! the electric one.
Austin Princess
Misubishi Starrion: suppposed to be Stallion but name was lost in translation so became Starrion instead!!
Ferrari Boxer(very un-ferrari)
Honda Legend
Mitsuoka Orochi Nude Top Concept( on ohter thread)

I'm sure there are many more!!

Nissan Cedric?

[Rob Ustly]

Not a car, but the Yamaha TDM always struck me as a rather unfortunate name for what's supposed to be an adrenaline filled mode of transport.

Cizetta Moroder
Clan Crusader
Buick Century
Ford Crown Victoria
Dodge Royal Lancer
Renault Fluence Concept
Suzuki Mobile Terrace Concept...you got to see this....

And not forgetting the Renualt Twingo.

[johnjr]

Well you'd hope so i mean at least it looks like a terrace. But a bad one at that!

I would've loved to been in the meeting at Suzuki when they were discussing the name for it!!
