Dodgy car names

[liftoffoversteer]

Howdy,
I've just started work in Seoul for the next couple of months and I've been checking out the dodgy car names over here.

First of the list, and I hate to say it as it's the company I work for, is the small Transit Connect sized pick-up truck that Kia does... it's called the 'Bongo'.

Naming cars is a real headache, but there have been some classics in the past... like the Nissan 'Pantry Boy' van and the Japanese taxi-favouries from Nissan - Cedric and Gloria. I'm sure there are loads, but can't remember.

Anyone got any more??

VW calling their old people van the "sharon" was a bit daft I always thought.

I cant remember the names but dacia's (Romanian made renaults soon to be here) have a couple of werid names.

Personally I think all french cars have crap names, 106, 307, saxo, citroen ax.. Then again nova is brilliant either.

Skodas have always had wierd ones, estelle, fabia, felicia.
