A nickname is generally a term of endearment, albeit one that can follow you for life. Perhaps not ideal if that's gifted to you by playground bullies but a shared badge of recognition for fans of certain cars. Talk Imprezas and you'll enter a world of classics, blobeyes, bugeyes and hawkeyes, BMW Z3 Ms are often known as breadvans and then you've got your droop snoot Vauxhalls and many other examples.
Some nicknames are limited to regions and interesting to hear what people from different countries call the same car - one man's BM is anothers Beemer or Bimmer. It isn't only for models but nicknames are in scenes, such as the dub scene. What are your favourites, most hated or simply the most unusual? Let us know here
