    Actually, Jetta is supposedly derived from the Atlantic air stream, though in 2013, VW denied this being true.
    Well, then the namers were probably just making up random names then Volkswagen.

    Just as Volkswagen denied that the dieselgate incident happened.
    Hmm...

    Don't know what makes this worthy of the name "Renegade".

    Vauxhall/Opel Mokka, a car owned by typical Starbucks patrons.

    A bland, uninspiring generic plastic crossover thing with no off road clout, driving dynamics or comfort, but it's "popular" and"trendy", so it must be "good" in the same vein as Starbucks.


    Toyota Tank. Is it a heavily armed military vehicle?

    Quite the opposite actually, it's a tiny kei car!

    Ceed?
    Sorry, but that'd better suit a kei car or a microcar. This is not that small enough to deserve the name (acknowledging it refers to 'seed').

    There's two ways to write it's name anyways, one with the ', and one without it.

    The official name is written on the back of the car, it's Cee'd.

    But others write as Ceed (even the license plate on the front is written without it's apostrophe).

    Well, what's this then?

    (look at the license plate, notice how there's no apostrophe.)

    ..and the image I posted above is a official 2019 Cee'd.
    Let's end this debate over which name is the most proper to use.
    OT:

    Toyota... for f*cks' sakes, why name the Auris "Corolla Hatchback" for our markets when the only similarities are the platform. Same thing with the previous "gen" (though it was a rebadge of the Scion iM, which is a rebadge of the Auris).

    Don't forget the Vauxhall Corsa.

    Corsa in one language or the other means "race"
    Why would a small depressing shitbox have the name "Vauxhall Race" (Corsa)

    ...which is a rebadge of the Opel Corsa. I'd blame Opel for that, since they were the ones who produced it and named it.

    I know, though Opel and Vauxhall is now owned by the PSA Groupe. Vauxhall is just the British counterpart of Opel.

    Hellcat really does fits as the trim name for the Charger, as it's a really fast and beastly vehicle in this trim.

    Semi-unrelated post but Vauxhall's logo looks too cool for what the brand actually is.
