Modern car names

« on: June 05, 2007, 08:46:38 PM »

Aren't they crap? Gone are the days of brutish tags like Mustang and Charger, now we get Nissan Qashqai and Kia Cee'd (what's the apostrophe for?). Are the manufacturers trying to baffle people into buying them by giving their cars girlie/foreign/confusing names?

Pity I missed the focus group. I would have sat at the back making disapproving fart noises, and occasionally muttering the word 'bollocks' under my breath.

My bus is called Mabel, and personality-wise she
is in her 80's wears a purple hat, smokes a pipe and wears hobnail boots. Quite a batty old bird really.

My old one was called Max, because I'm so
inventive. Names for my new one include "Wolf," "The Tank" and "Come on you swine..."

For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
And the science gets done, and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

Im really tempted to buy the Roewe from SAIC - its basically the MG Rover 75 longwheel base with a 2.5 V6 engine under the lid, plus the car was dragged into 2007 with various updates.

The trouble is, the cars chinese name - its Rong Wei, pronounced Wrong Way.

Oh well, Ill just save up the 50k USD for the 2.7 Chrysler 300c.
