What is the worst named car ever...?

[DANBRI]

Ford Prefect

[Manjimike]

Ford Prefect

is that the '42 model

[Fivid]

Couple I can think of...  Mitsubishi Starion  and   Ford Performance anything.  The words Ford and Performance are really just contradictory terms and don't belong together.

Prado

[toad]

Ford Edsel
Daihatsu Copen
Toyota had some beauties overseas - Alphard, Belta, Curren, Rukus.

But I still have a soft spot for the aforementioned Nissan Cedric

[Johnny Trackabout]

Datsun Pootrol yuk think I just threw up in my mouth

[Bushman]

Sorry just being pedantic, No translation for Pajero from Spanish to English, BUT

pajeros is Spanish for tosser/wanker

Baz.

Had is conversation witha Spanish speaking workmate a while back,  (prior to me buying one, )

Pronouced   PAHERO does in fact mean tosser/wanker    Pronouced   PAJERO  is actually a bird.

also found this doing a Google search

pajero [pah-hay'-ro]
noun1. One who deals in straw, and carries it about for sale. (m)

Ever noticed they never made a VD Commodre?? VB, VC, VE, no VD though......

The model line up was going to be L, SL, SLE, SLX and a new top of the line STD.

[singo-26]

There is also the Ssang Yong Hover.


Edit: it's a Great wall Hover.

My apologies to Ssang yong, Their names aren't quite that bad.

[bullfrog]

Don't think I'd want to walk into the showroom & say I wanted a VD STD thanks......

Just look up skoda they have some ripper names like SUPERB, well is it really that good. Maybe if the car makers where just honest with there models like Holden Camira should have been called Holden Heap Of S##t or Ford Coursair should have been Ford Failure then we would know before people buy them, just an idea lol

[bullfrog]

Oooh, Holden Camira. That is scraping the bottom of the $hit bucket. They were close to honest with the model, JD = Just Don't

[singo-26]

Dont forget the early holdens with the HD (highly dangerous) and the HR (hastily revised). There was also the SB Barina.

[bullfrog]

Been a long time since I worked on a Camira, still get the shakes & sweats when I see one....

[Ricey]

Don't forget the Toyota T-18 Macho Macho Machine

God I can still hear the jingle.

[bullfrog]

Seeing as this is about crook names, what about the  Proton Satria ?? Sounds more like an eating disorder.

[GOLDIE]

Saw a car today called "The Cube". Ugly name for an ulgy car

[GS]

Ever noticed they never made a VD Commodre?? VB, VC, VE, no VD though......

Used to put sht on a work make with a 4.2 VE . Said it was a VD commode with the power of a 6 and the economy of an 8

[DANBRI]

4.2 through a trimac = wouldn't pull Jesus off his cross!

[pauljygrant]

GM's 'NOVA' which means 'Doesn't Go' in Spanish!  Re-badged the car as Corsa in Europe as a result, but kept Nova in the UK.  (Eventually re-badged to Corsa in the UK when the model was face lifted.)

[Mav]

Okay what about the toyota Rukus, ugly name and even fuglier car.   

[Darcy7]

Wow...this has taken off...! It's amazing how many awful names for cars are out there.  Really makes you wonder what the marketing bovine at the manufactures were thinking.

Apparently the pager is known as the Shogun in many other countries because of the translation.

I'd completely forgot about the Ford Probe.  Popular with proctologists...!
