best car names ever

[slipstream 1985]

Im not searching but could we have a list of potential car names and then a poll of the best names ever? The car could be the worst thing ever or not even linked to its name but just a name that sounds cool if you were telling someone what you drove.
Two of my suggestions would be the: Jenson "interceptor"
Land rover "defender"

[glazbagun]

Sagaris, Chimera, TVR names are generally pretty awesome!

Veloster. Great name for a fairly average car

[selym]

I don't think I've fully got this yet. Scirocco is ok though.

[Codswallop]

Viper
Cobra
Testarossa

[wildcat45]

Tagora. Solara

Mitsubishi Pajero had a ring to it. Not so popular in Spain for some reason..

[marmitemania]

I nominate the Tang Hau Detroit Fish. On a serious note I think Facel Vega, Ferrari Daytona, Bentley Mulsane, and Range Rover are good names just for starters. Will put my thinking cap on and come up with some more.

[Tickle]

Challenge Stradale
Venom GT
Fury

[Ved]

Stag

[DocArbathnot]

Got one.

Barracuda

Names only really became used after the war. Before then they were descriptive, so you had things like "12hp" Light 16, 3 litre, or names after notable race wins: TT replica, Ulster, Le Mans.

Post war they got the idea. From the bizarre (cedric??), through to things like Vantage, Interceptor, Mini,
