>>> Best/Worst/Oddest Car Names Ever <<<

[Victor Vance]

Actually if you want to be technical, it'd be Mazda 2, as the Demio is known in Europe.

And I haven't seen the owners with their XUVs, but I know we're selling them because we keep having to replace their spaces on the lot... They're not bad if you want an alternative to the Avalanche or H2 SUT.

My dad thinks power things, windows aside, are the devil. He don't wan't power liftbacks or sliding doors on a minivan. He don't want the power folding seats on the Ford Expidition. He definately don't want the Envoy XUV's power-opening roof. But I gotta ask, are those power things reliable?

De Tomaso Pantera

One of the coolest names around

Tell me, is it because of the band?

 

[koolsax]

How do you pronounce "Parisienne"?

This is the best I can do it for you: Par - easy - n and pronounce the par like you would start to say Paris and the n just like the letter n. That what the word means anyway, an inhabitant of Paris.

 

[Woolie Wool]

So what do you thank is the strangest name ever seen in a Japanese car? I nominate the Nissan Serena Moko Moko.

 

[Driftster]

mitsuoku orochi

 

[Famine]

There's already a thread on this, I believe.

And Mazda Bongo Friendee.

 

[Emohawk]

Nissan Terrano Regulus Vanette
Mitsubishi Hearty Run Dion
Daihatsu Move Naked F Sloper
Mitsubishi Chariot Grandis Earth Family
Suzuki Miki House Mr. Wagon
Toyota Tercel Shall We Join Us
Mitsubishi Large-sized Fuso Truck Super Great FU

These are presented as fact, but it's quite possible that the reporting journalist is just an idiot. I really want to belive they exist though.

They have some funny one's, but the funniest one is Honda City. City doesn't sound that funny, when spoken in English. When Japanese person say the name, it's pronounced "Shi*ty". Yesssssssssss! 👍

 

[PS]

Nissan Moko means Nissan "booger" in Spanish.

 

[Firebird]

I think it's a close race between the Mazda Bongo Friendee, Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard and Suzuki Every Joy Pop Sound.

 

[Famine]

I've resolved myself to buy an Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard.


I've also just had to change my underwear.

Can I borrow your car sometime?

 

[Taurine]

We have Mazda Bongo Friendees and Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizards here in NZ but I nominate the Toyota Estima Emina.

I always get it confused with enema.

 

[G.T]

I've always thought the Suzuki Jimny is a weird name, but I don't know many cars just sold in Japan so there's probably weirder.

 

[KurtisGSXR]

For those of you who like a bit of poke in your Japanese car, there's the Suzuki Every Joy Pop TURBO!

Or for the man who likes a flashy motor the Suzuki Every Turbo RZ super multiple roof.

Multiple roof?


Kurtis.

 

[F1GTR]

Ahhh, Engrish...

 

[Caio]

Just for the brazilian members:

Suzuki Tokakara Nomuro;
Honda Fugironakombi;
Toyota Mijo Nomuro;
Mitsubisho Yosuko Tamargo.

 

[Revheadnz]

Anyone ever seen a Nissan Homy?

And the Honda Jazz aka Honda Fit, when it was being considered for Finland the name was going to be changed to Fitta. What the Honda execs didn't know was that Fitta is slang for the female genitals in Finland.

The Cedric.

The Cedric.

Closely followed by Sylvia and Fairlady.

I'd vote for the Fairlady Z. Cool sports car named after "My Fair Lady"..............

 

[spykerdriver]

I vote for the Chevy Nova.


Oh wait, that was American.

Nevermind.

 

[zoxxy]

Daihatsu Rugger Field Sports Resin Top. 👍

 

[Jugend]

The Jazz's original name was Fitta which in the nordic countries means c**t. No less, no more. It caused quite a stire here until Honda decided to change the name.

 

[daan]

Please edit that Jugend.

It's already been said anyway.

 

[Jugend]

Done.

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

I always liked the Honda Life Dunk.

Nissan Exa Canopy L.A. Version Type S is awesome, too.

 

[Jondot]

Isn't there a nissan called gloria too? I seem to remember there was a cedric, and then the gloria was either the posher version, or the less posh version.

 

[[FPV]Rusty]

Mitsubishi Pajero - means wanker in spanish

 

[Dave A]

Yes your right, there was a Nissan Gloria, it was'nt anything to do with the cedric until 1971 when the two cars were merged into one model range.
