Cars given human names by their manufacturers

[226bhp]

Pets always sound funny to me with human names, a dog called Michael or a cat called Janet etc, but then so do cars I always thought. I mean, would you dare tell anyone you had a Nissan Cedric? Would you call your dog in public if it was called Philip?

Samantha (Fiat)
Cedric (Nissan)

Any more?
