    Honda Ridgeline, marketing it as a truck that can do truck stuff with a bed that connects with the cab so when it's breaks from all of the truck stuff you do you would have to buy a new truck, the newer one got ride of that problem but that have speakers in the bed when will that be useful and not break when you throw some logs in the bed.

    The Marcos Mantis.
    Who would want to drive a car called a Mantis? Who would want to drive a 2+2 supercar called a Mantis?

    Toyota Yaris, it is very small from the inside, it is not the smallest from the outside, it has no trunk space to speak of, it is hard to see out because all that huge plastic pieces and ridiculously small rear windows, there is no power, throttle pedal is kind of on/off switch, really horrible car and it even sounds stupid, Yaris, what that even is?

    Then when there is a bump on a road it feels like someone would rock backrest of your seat back and forth.

    Thing even looks so stupid.

    Pontiac Firefly.
    Firefly.
    Fire.
    Sunfire.
    How does this deserve the name "Firefly", if the only similarity is that it's small?
    Also, it's a Geo Metro rebadge, so why give it a 'cool' name like Firefly at all?

    If it is stupid, but works for years, then it's not stupid.
    --- Post updated ---
    It's the solo career of Gerry Rafferty or Robert Plant of cars - does not have the bang of stuff like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or Billy Squier, but you don't always want the bang.

    Functionality ≠ Non-Stupidity
    If it functions, does it affect being stupid? No. Sure, it's important, but it's not gonna make the car any less stupid.
