I know that this was on CF but I though I'd try it out over here. So what's your favourite and least favourite names? Here's mine: Ferrari Berlinetta Barchetta Diablo Miura Lamborghini Maybach Veyron Azure Arnage Silver Seraph  M5 or any M product for tht matter. XKR BMW Aston Martin Vantage Volante Hummer Porsche Turbo, this only applies to Porsche, I love that understatment.  I'll think of some others later, I like these though, some are subnames from companies but I love em'.

I'd say BRABUS sounds quite mean!
Simple!
-Viper (sounds vicious) -Cobra (same as Viper) -Arnage (mean sounding name) -Lexus (has "rich" tune to it) -Mercedes (has class written all over it!) |

-BMW - sends chills up my spine
-Pagani - sounds like a rich supercar (which it is) -Zonda - an extremely strong Andean wind, not to mention very fast, just like the car -Viper - same reason as above -Corvette - seams to go very smoothly, but aggressively

These are the cars who should have there names rethought. For a whil. Aztek (Go back to 3000 BC!) Imag Evoq Escalade (As you can tell by now, I don't really like Cadillac) Paseo (What the hell does that mean?) Bravada XG 300! (Hyundai should not be allowed to make Luxury cars) Tiburon Passat (Sounds like a name for a Swedish Cat) and other econo box vehicles However, the coolest name IMO is the TOYOTA Landcruiser, it sounds like you could conquer everest with a name like "Landcruiser" It also makes land feel like Sunday driving, they should call the next one "Mountain Masher" or something, I sound like an ztek designer now.

The old Landcruisers were good, before they switched to luxo mobiles.
Ever notice the XG300 looks an awful lot like a Lincoln LS?

Yeah, Maxima is an awesome name. It reminds me of some big Hercules guy or something, like "Maximus the Conqueror."

I hate it when companies (*cough*Toyota*cough*) use names that mean or portray absolutely nothing. Camry? Corolla? Paseo? Tercel? Come on now....
