Car names

This is the thread, where we can talk about car names.

Suzuki Mighty boy


After I saw this car in the Car Throttle's video, I can't forget the name.

 

Kia Soul, ironic name.

 

The Opel Combo.
Personally, I think it works decent as an van name, although I don't see an combination reference at all.

 

Ford Galaxy. It always reminds me of Galaxie

 

I quite like Eldorado and Thunderbird.

 

GTO sounds like an cool name for this vehicle, fits the style of the car.

 

I don't really have a favorite/least favorite


But I like "Nissan hardbody"...



It kind of reminds me of myself. ;D

 

Early Combos were all combined/panel vans, hatches with cargo boxes at the rear.

 

Mazda Titan Dump.
But seriously the Dodge Durango sounds cool for some reason

 

Elan (Lotus): refined, sounds great and fits the car, especially the 1st one.
Quattroporte (Maserati): simple and elegant, I can smell rich leather and mahogany by just saying this out loud.
Karif (Maserati): sharp, svelte like a monsoon that storms the surroundings... too bad the car actually sucked balls...
Aristo (Toyota): shame they didn't keep the name for export...
Corolla, Corona (Toyota): Toyota, there's only so many synonims for "Crown". These sounded great, but please, shtap.
Concerto (Honda): the car was kinda bland but the musical reference was sweet.
Murano (Nissan): from the venetian district of glass artists, the car was less delicate than the glass masterpieces it evoked, but cool name nonetheless.

 

Ford Probe

 

Daewoo Racer. This name doesn't fit this car at all.

 

Suzuki Samurai

Here to claim you soul with its mighty but mini 85 horsepower or somethin'
Literally the best name for a tiny offroader/SUV thing.

 

am i dreaming or its a peugeot partner with opel front ??

 

That's exactly what it is. PSA bought Opel last year, remember?

 

oh ye. Oh and big news, PSA decided to come back in usa

 

YES FINALLY!!!

On topic:
I've been working in Automation on a midsize FWD/AWD sedan by Hirochi, kind of a premium car. I'm very proud of the name too. I've called it the Levara, which sounds fitting to a midsize premium, no? I googled it and Levara means (in music) to remove all stops. Even better!

 

Not necessarily good news. The US market kinda rejected most non-premium Euro products before. I don't see Citroën/DS going very far in North America...

 

well just some guys will buy peugeot,citroen and DS. In fance we adore us cars

 

Do the French like Chrysler? Just curious... do 300's and Town and Country's sell?
