worst car names ever

Ford Ka - popular in the UK despite its name

"Oi mate I heard you bought a new cah."
"Yeah, the Ford Ka."
"Which model?"
"The Ka!!"


Also, the Growler E2011. Top Gear did a whole segment on its name...

 

The name comes from the town it was built in, Peel, England.

 

erm acydjmdnpp yxzyiozobhinually
it's the isle of man

 

That’s part of England you slice of canadian white bread covered with butter and topped with everything seasoning

 

Ford Escort - Brings new meaning to someone saying "I got myself a cheap escort"
Ford Cougar - Again, another Ford innuendo name.
Ford Ka - Nobody knows how to pronounce it, more than 25 years after the car launched.
Ford Probe - How this got past management nobody knows.
Opel/Vauxhall Adam - A car that I actually quite like. Nearly bought one once but was put off by the crap name.
Opel/Vauxhall Mokka - You can just tell this was named by a committee.
Volkswagen Thing - Awful name for a truly awful car.
Honda Fit - Here in the UK at least, a 'fit' is another word for a seizure.
Alfa Romeo Tonale - Alfa Romeo really made the first actually good looking crossover, then ruined it by naming it the Toenail. So disappointing.
Lamborghini Urus - Ugly name for a hideous car.
Rover CityRover - Nicknamed the 'ShittyRover' in the UK due to how bad it was.

 

Isn't it pronounced 'Ton-all-ay'?
I agree, though.

 

Ka is basically how you pronounce the letter K in french


Also , why do everybody think the VW is called "thing" ? Isn't it the VW type 181 ?

 

It was called that in the US export market.

 

I like the VW thing (Type 181)...



I don't know why, but I do.

 

Chevy ss.

 

Chevy Super Sport? How is that a bad name?

 

SS was also short for a government organization under the funny moustache man.
Probably not what they meant, but still

 

Just to name a few…

Mazda Titan Dump
Morris Isis
Autozam/Mazda Scrum
Chrysler by Chrysler
Nissan Homy Super Long
Honda LaGreat
Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard
The Dale
Toyota Glanza
Oldsmobile Achieva
Honda Life Dunk

Nissan S cargo. (Snail inspired name)
Personally I love this name, however it is a bit silly.

 

Kia Soul, where's the soul in the damn thing?

 

It stands for the poor souls who have to look at it every day.

 

Good one.

 

It is silly, but it's genuinely a great name.
It fits the car real well and is a damn good pun on top of that.

'escargot' is french for snail, if anybody's wondering

 

Toyota Isis
A minivan with the name of the terrorisim organization that equipped their army with Toyota pickup trucks
