| The Toyota Deliboy: Freaky fast, freaky good. |
When you get right down to it, almost no car name can be taken seriously. Besides some of the more famous muscle cars like Mustangs or Corvettes, the majority of car names are similar to the majority of baby names these days, silly and made up.
Instead of writing a bunch of nonsense about cars and their names I am going to supply you with a list of absurd car names. The order has nothing to do with the absurdness of each name.
Honda Life Dunk

| A bit boxy but suitable for any wanna-be NBA star. |
Nissan Prairie Joy
 |
| Sounds exciting...if you like driving in Nebraska. |
AMC Gremlin
Mazda Bongo Brawny
Nissan Murano
Ford Probe
Pontiac Aztek
Mitsubishi Mirage
Dodge Swinger
Isuzu Giga 20 Light Dump
As you can probably tell, being the designated car-namer at a car manufacturer is possibly one of the best jobs in the world. Only a meteorologist can be wrong more often and still keep his/her job.
Also take note that most of these absurd names come from Asian car manufacturers, especially Japanese companies. Either they have a great sense of humor or they have no idea what the words actually mean.

| Party on, Wayne. Party on, Garth. |
 |
| The sound system is killer and the floor mats are super absorbent. |
 |
| Besides the fact that it sounds like moron...no inherent problems. |
 |
| Begs the question: what kind of probe? |
 |
| First of all, it's spelled wrong. Second of all, it's just plain ugly. |
 |
| I could be wrong here, but isn't a mirage a figment of one's imagination? |
 |
| The preferred car of both Hugh Hefner and Tarzan. |
 |
| I think the name says it all on this one... |

Agreed, the Aztek is UGLY. I would be curious to know what years all these cars were. I had some grand theory that maybe the bad names were all restricted to a particular decade, but lots of hose cars looked pretty new...guess it's never too late to sound stupid.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the Aztek. I remember telling my mother that we could never have a car that was that ugly. This post made me laugh since I whole-heartedly believe that a person's car says a lot about them. And the people that drive/drove these cars must be/have been kind of crazy.
