What cars names misslead the public

It's 'misleading' not 'miss-leading'.

MINI

Oh, and the Mitsubishi 'Carisma' {sic} wins this one hands down. A car with less joie de vivre would be hard to find.

Corsa.....sport.

I know a guy who bought one of those just because of the name. He thought it would be the perfect car for him, which is a way it was.

He was in a band and married to a dancer, which made me think he might be interesting until I met him.

Almost anything with the word "Sport" in it's name.

G-Wiz, you will not feel any G's, it will not wiz

Although the name may emulate the last noises you make as you take your last dying breath after being crushed to death in the thing after a 5mph shunt

Are you seriously suggesting they are actually mini? They were bigger than most city cars when it was released.

I guess technically was the Mini ever a city car though?

And really? Are you sure? Not many cars are 'significantly' smaller and offer the same seating. And the ones that do certainly don't look as good.

Sorry 300, you're missing the point. Whatever its competition, they're not called MINI.... and yes, the original was a city car and was "mini".

It's like the Mondeo which wasn't sold in the US under that name so it was hardly "monde"-wide.
