The EXI60

 

[CaptainRisky21]

The "Geely Notavolvo"

 

[Matej]

Geely Bean.

it did also have a hatchback called the King Kong — which is excellent.

I'm a bit curious, so I'll dare to ask - why?

 

[TheGeologist]

One Sporty Boiii

 

[jagenigma]

Carrey mccarface.

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Carrey mccarface.

Dammit. That's what I'd have chose. Also don't thing Geely will be calling this car the Geely Sir David Attenborough SUV.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Maibatsu Monstrosity.

Their lineup have names that incorporate terms like "grand", X, etc....so it should be something BIG, EXTREME..."the most everything", in one word!
Now, becoming a little bit more serious, being connected to an important automaker like Volvo, doesn't make it automatically the same thing, but it might be a good start! Looking at the picture, i see a (sub)compact crossover in bright color with a girl right next to it, so the name should say fun, young, versatile car!

 

[bloodyboyblue]

Geely LaGeely

 

[CSMDuty11]

Surely not long before that place will figure out about yet another internet poll happening.

 

[moparmanmike]

Trucky McTruckface is clearly the only logical name.

 

[RZQSPEED]

Hmmm, something simple like, uhhh, Geely Henan?

 

[Just The Stig]

They say the current name is "Bin Yue", so why not just simplify it to "Binyu"?

*buys this car, looks at his old car* "Imma bin you!"

in that case, you can't go wrong with naming it Geely Betelgeuse.

Personally, if I were Geely, I'd ask Maserati nicely to make this new SUV be named Kubang. Because I love how it sounds. Sounds totally like something a Chinese car will do at some point.

 

[Morgoth_666]

The "Yet Another Of Those Things"

 

[Roger the Horse]

Skypuncher 10 000

 

[Crazy Taylor]

I'd like to see it called the 'Geely Unicorn Arse Kicker' then.

 

[Dennisch]

Geely Breakdowny.

 

[eight6er]

Geely CaronStilts

 

[TheCracker]

Geely Imitation

Geely CopyCat

Geely WhatIntellectualPropertyRights?

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Geely XC90

 

[Turbo]

Geely Famiry Vehicre

 

[witham]

Geely 4 Wheely

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Geely Famiry Vehicre

From the person that was rallying away in the White Privilege thread, this is spectacularly tone-deaf. Not least because Geely isn't a Japanese company.

What about; SUX ...oh damnit! This is hard!

 

[SiriusR]

On a second thought, I think Geely Badum will do well too.

Imitating a certain accent isn't racist. I'm from Alabama and people in New Jersey (all with NY accents) always make fun of my southern drawl. There's a difference between mimicking an accent and using a racial slur to degrade an entire culture. It's not like I called it the "Geely Ch*nk".

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

We're all missing a trick here; we have the chance to literally name a car (an SUV, no less) the Canyonero.

Some ideas:
Divertimento - Italian for fun.
Godere - Italian for enjoy.

Spoiler: Probably not child friendly...

When I tried to write Godere my phone autocorrected it to God Erect. I think I need to get a new phone.

Giovane - Italian for young.
Young - English for young.
Buono - Italian for good.
Boneo - English dog treat.
GoCat - English cat treat.
Godzilla - Japanese for Skyline.
