Q: How are car manufacturers coming up with some of these new car names? Some of them are ridiculous.
A: I wonder if it's the same way they come up with the names for hurricanes or tropical storms. I compare it to when parents (especially celebrities) are striving to be creative when naming their children, and some kid has to go through life carrying the burden of being named Apple or CoCo.
Here are some of the winners for the worst car names over the years:
- Nissan Prairie Joy
- Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear
- Daihatsu Naked
- Mitsubishi Pistachio
- Dodge Royal Lancer
- Mazda Bongo Friendee
- Isuzu Bighorn
- Ford Probe
That last one led me to a great idea. Why not name cars after medical procedures/conditions? I would love to have the option to purchase a Mazda Menopause or the Nissan Narcolepsy. Why doesn't Chevy come out with the Cyst or Acura produce the Astigmatism?
I think someone must have shared my same idea. Can anyone guess the name of the car below?
Toyota Emina ☺
