Worst Car Name Thread - 02-12-2008, 12:51 AM

I have noticed that some cars have terrible names. The worst that I can think of off the top of my head is the Toyota Kluger which is an AWD offered in Australia. Must take some serious brain power at Toyota Australias marketing team to come up with a classic name like that...

Share some of the worst car names that you have come across???

Buick LeSabre Made me laugh

Why not the Buick Lightsabre. Imagine then maketin campaign. This car is so quick it can outrun the Millenium Falcon!!! Instead of sheep skin upholestry why not Chewbaca fur upholestry.

It was specifically designed for the Italian Mafia to move bodies with ease, hence the name.

Mitsubishi Carisma: The oxymoron of the century. It was a car totally devoid of Charisma that no one bought it and as result it's no longer in production.

Nissan Sunny: A boxy and bland little car with no character and about as desirable as canker-sore.
