Worst Car Name Thread

Oversteer Expert
I have noticed that some cars have terrible names. The worst that I can think of off the top of my head is the Toyota Kluger which is an AWD offered in Australia. Must take some serious brain power at Toyota Australias marketing team to come up with a classic name like that...

Share some of the worst car names that you have come across???

:t-cheers:
 
Buick LeSabre Made me laugh

Why not the Buick Lightsabre. Imagine then maketin campaign. This car is so quick it can outrun the Millenium Falcon!!! Instead of sheep skin upholestry why not Chewbaca fur upholestry.
 
Mercedes Vito??? (Vito is the name of my best man, btw...:D)

Nissan Qashqai :t-banghea

There are more of course...

:t-cheers:
 
Mitsubishi Carisma: The oxymoron of the century. It was a car totally devoid of Charisma that no one bought it and as result it's no longer in production.

Nissan Sunny: A boxy and bland little car with no character and about as desirable as canker-sore.
 
Ford Kuga
Subaru Tribeca
Renault Espace
Hyunday Accent

These are some awful that first come to my mind.
 
Pontiac Aztec & SsangYong Rodius, even their names are crap.
 
Ford Edsel - Sort of like calling a car "Bob", "John" or "Frank"
Daihatsu Rocky - Did they name it after the movie or the mountains?
Suzuki Esteem - It's a car that makes you feel good about yourself.
Daihatsu Charade - It's pretending to be a car.
Mitsubishi Aspire - It's ambition is to be a car.
Ford Escort - It goes wherever you go.
Dodge Neon - What's tacky-looking and glows in the dark?
AMC Gremlin - Was this car full of them?
Toyota Stout - Maybe they'd sell more if it was "Big & Tall"
Datsun Cherry - Having it stolen is like losing your virginity
Volkswagen Golf - Is it as boring to drive as the game is to watch?
Subaru Justy -Justy whaty?
AMC Pacer - This car just goes back and forth all the time.
Toyota Cressida - Named after the backstabbing, unfaithful Shakespeare Character, right?
Dodge Scamp - This car is either a rogue, or it moves in a stop-and-go fashion.
Dodge Swinger - This is the perfect car for wife-swappers.
Plymouth Reliant - Ironic, considering it was marketed as a "disposable car".
Hyundai Accent - Does it's engine make odd inflection noises?
Kia Mentor - Does this car teach you how to drive it?
Mitsubishi Mirage - The car that you only think you're driving.
Daihatsu Applause - When you buy it, the salespeople cheer for you.
Daihatsu Rugger - The perfect car for Carpet installers or Rugby players.
Honda Acty Crawler- Does it have wheels or 6 legs?
Honda Ascot - In accidents, this car gets all tied up in knots.
Honda Jazz - Like, cool, man...Honda Joy-Machine Like driving an orgasm Isuzu Big Horn For people who hate the sound of those little beep-beep horns.
Isuzu Forward - Does it have a reverse gear at all?
Mazda Bongo - *MazdaBongo Brawny*MazdaBongo Friendee* Maybe if they keep trying, they'll figure out what's wrong with the name...
Mazda Carol - Realizing "the Edsel factor", they quickly changed it's name to Me Lady!
Mazda Titan - It's either a really big SUV, or a condom...
Mitsubishi Guts - That's all they'll find of you, after you crash it.
Nissan Big - Thumb???
Nissan Fairlady Z - Possibly inspired by a Giant Robot show for girls.
Nissan Largo - This car goes really slow.
Daihatsu Town Cube - Yes, it's a small, square minivan, advertized like it was a wardrobe or closet on wheels. I'm not kidding.
Chevrolet Citation - Is that what the cops give you when they pull you over?
Plymouth Duster - I suppose it's better than "Mop" or "Broom".
Dodge Demon - Who do you think would drive a car with a name like that? Could it be... Satan??
Dodge Drifter - A car for Transients?
Dodge Rampage - The Road-rage car.

Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal -A car with the name of a shoe?
Nissan Prairie - Joy Michael Landon Inspired...?
Mitsubishi Exceed - Careful it doesn't "Exceed" the speed limit
Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard - Obviously, they wanted it to sound more like a tool than a truck.
Mazda Scrum - Another car with Rugby players in mind...
Isuzu Giga 20 Light Dump - As appealing as a bowel movement...
Nash Rambler - This is the car for people who just drive on and on aimlessly...
Plymouth Fury - Another road-rage car!
Chevrolet Luv - A Make-out truck
 
Yeah Buick is not bad at stupid names...

There is the BMW M6: in France, M6 is a famous TV Channel. It's just like saying you drive a BMW BBC...

BTW, BMW 330 CD...does it play mp3, too?:D

You also have the Lexus ISF: In French ISF means "Impôt de Solidarité sur la Fortune", which means the tax on richest people...:D The French dealers have implored Lexus to change it in France but they did not do it...

Concerning the Renault Espace it is a brilliant name in France. Espace means on the same time space (for a van) and the space, in the sky where the stars shine...

Renault Fuego was awful...

I think that's the problem, some names can be good in some countries and absolutely awful in others...and some carmakers don't pay attention to this.

Yea, that's true. But to me it sounds like big wardrobe on wheels. But I have nothing against that car though..
