You guys remember the VW Polo/Golf Harlequins?
Oh god yes, there's a polo one that's still alive round my way looks like they just threw what remaining panels they had kicking around together.
There was a multicoloured civic too, varicolour or something?
Vauxhall Nova "Spin" and Nova "Snap". You'd hope not, really.
There was actually a Micra "Wave". No, please no.
Bonus honours to the Japanese for the long, drug-laced nights in which they come up with names like Mitsubishi Active Urban Sandal, Mazda Bongo Brawnee or Mitsubishi Mum 500 Shall We Join Us.

I always wandered why VW often use sports to name their cars, polo, golf.
Not sure the VW's are named after sports - I think I read somewhere that they were all named after various 'windy phenomenon'.
I also heard the 'Harlequin' range of special editions described as 'perfect - for the terminally indecisive...'

Some great ones in this thread
MR2 was, in France at least, quite literally "crap".

M R 2... Merde. Hence why it was always called MR Roadster in France.
Same can be said for the Pajero in Spanish which, IIRC, means tw#t or idiot.
Wasn't there a Skoda Lauren and Klement or something like that... Laurel & Hardy maybe... hooo I don't know.
The Pajero does not literally translate but it was deemed too close to the word for w4nker in spainish speaking countries
