There's also the "Mitsubishi Mum 500 Shall We Join Us? " (the ? is part of the name, just like with the Firepower!'s name.),
 
I'll start with one:

Daihatsu Naked

Any car that has a sequence of strange numbers and letters after the manufacturers name.
 
Toyota Quick Delivery and Toyota Mega Cruiser. Can't remember the import site that I found all the names of the production/commercial Japanese vehicles. But there were laughs to be had in there.
 
Daihatsu Charade has to be the worst name for a car ever.

"an absurd pretense intended to [falsely] create a pleasant or respectable appearance"

Honorable mention has to go to the Mazda Laputa. La puta literally means 'the whore' in Portuguese and Spanish.

Quite a few other Mazdas and Daihatsus have questionable names too. Such as the Mazda Scrum, the Mazda Bongo Friendee, Mazda Familia Interplay X, the Daihatsu D-Bag, Daihatsu Scat

Some of those are so absurd they are actually kind of cool.

Some other ones I like, all from Japan of course:
Isuzu Bellett
Mitsubishi Canter Guts
Daihatsu Terios Kid AERO DOWN CUSTOM X
Nissan March SUPERTURBO
Suzuki Every Joy Pop Turbo
Isuzu Bighorn
Nissan Leopard J. Ferie
Toyota Crown
Mazda Eunos Cosmo
