Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’m always amused by the names the U.S. car makers give their SUVs, trucks and cars such as Dakota, Santa Fe, Sedona, etc. I assume they are trying to evoke the strong Western cowboy image so drivers will feel more powerful and manly.

Not to be a pedant or anything but the Sedona is a Kia and the Santa Fe is a Hyundai, which are Korean car makers.

I’m a big of whoever suggested the Kia Lowbrow.

I humbly submit:
The Buick Lunchtime
The Chrysler Casual Dress Friday

How about colors?

Chevy Red
Toyota Yellow

Or seasons?

Honda Snow
Chrysler Autumn

Or dumb inanimate objects.

Ford Tree
Kia Prairie

Or stuff that rhymes.

Ford Smord
Hyundai Dundai

43

Pah, we’ve already had in this country alone:

Nissan Cedric
Datsun Bluebird
Toyota Starlet
Datsun Charade
Holden Kingswood
Nissan Skyline

Chevrolet Manatee

A car with this name would certainly encourage me to buy American.
My own sugestion would be the (insert manufacturer here) Slightly Aerodynamic Box.

45

The Ford Schlep.

The Hyundai Gopher.

The Chrysler Linoleum.

46

You want dull? I’ve got dull. This works for any manufacturer. Let’s pick Ford for the time being. The whole product line:

Ford Compact
Ford Bigger
Ford Large
Ford Large and Roomy
Ford Utility
Ford Large Utility
Ford Small Truck
Ford Truck
Ford Big Truck

That’ll work.

47

How about the Chevy MeH2?

48

In the spirit of truth in advertising,

The Kia Lemon

49

The Ford Car
The Toyota Car
The Nissan Car
The Chrysler Car
The Chevy Car

Instead of heroic Indians like Pontiac, why not wimps like Hiawatha, or grumps like Sitting Bull.

51

How about they sell off naming rights to all new vehicles?

The Ford News Corp.

The Chrysler WaMu Free Checking

The Dodge PapaJohns.com

The Mercury Enterprise Rent-a-Car

The Saturn Wisconsin Dells Chamber of Commerce

The Chevy Ford F-150: Built Ford Tough
