I was driving to work this morning sitting behind what I consider to be the worst named car ever when a thought occurred to me.  What are some of the other really bad names that have been given to cars over the years?  I mentally compiled a list of some of my personal favorites (in no particular order):

Datsun Sunny, Daihatsu Pyzar, Nissan Bluebird, Mitsubishi Nimrod, Mitsubishi Delica, Toyota Yarris, Mazda Protege', and the Holden Epica.

But...what car sparked this thought in the first place? Possibly the worst name ever given to a car and I apologize to anyone who has one because I'm sure they are great cars. But the name...?  Toyota Kluger...!  Honestly it sounds like something you cough up...! I feel like I have excuse myself after saying it.

So then...what are some of the other really bad names that have been given to cars over the years? Perhaps a poll...?

nissan cedric - named as because nissan did a survey to find out the most common aristocratic name in the u.k

daihatsu pyzar - pyzar what - $2.50 with sauce?
if nissan made a prop plane using the zd30 - would you fly in it?

Without a doubt, Ssang Yong have it in the bag with the, Rexton, Actyon or the Stavic.  Any of them could take our the title, but surely sheer weight of numbers prevails!

I'm glad it's only a "worst name" and not worst performance thread
I remember the old saying, 'sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never affect me' ;D ;D

Only those who've driven an 'Actyon' in anger would know of their ability, I've now got the 'scars' on the sides  :'(

When I get the 285x60x18 AT's I think it maybe (almost) unstoppable  :angel:

(hint) Maybe we can organize a bush trip as part of the Busselton meet 3 & 4th Sept.

My first car was a 1958 Standard 10.   Most would ask "standard what?"
It was made by the Standard-Triumph group and its badge was the same as the Triumph shield.
The 10 was horsepower.  There was also a Standard 8 but I had the hot version!
