The silliest names for cars: you'll laugh until you cry

Over the decades and decades that cars have been on the market, names and suffixes have had to be coined for these models. Some were completely "cool", while others turned out to be ridiculous attempts to fascinate where there is no room for fascination even in dreams!

The automotive world has always tried to find additional ways to captivate the market. Some do this with the help of phrases in brochures and advertisements, while others introduce new models that advertise themselves. After all, it might be best to mention Lamborghini as such an example, because just trying to remember even one advertisement for their car is a Sisyphean task.

There have always been silly car model names, and there always will be - no matter how much effort is put into the imaginative idea.
If you had to choose the most theatrical car models in the world, the Japanese would probably lead the way. In the waters of alphanumeracy, the Germans swim most often with their X3, C63 and A8, while the Americans, for reasons known only to them, have always invented something aggressive, such as various Cobras, Patriots and mythical birds.

After all, if we mention only a few individual cases from different countries, it will become clear very quickly what it is about.

Nissan Homy Super Long (why does Long Dong Silver come to mind?)
Ferrari LaFerrari (sounds … um … “cheerful” – translated from English)
Nissan Fairlady Z (a female character from a zombie musical?)
Honda That's (sounds rather vague)
Isuzu Giga 20 Light Dump (digestive problems?)

Mitsubishi Lettuce (do you want a salad?)
Mazda Titan Dump (someone blocked the drain in the toilet)
Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard (Harry Potter character?)
Suzuki Every Joypop Turbo (someone mixed up the words)
Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal (sounds like something that would be a real hit with hipsters)

Mitsubishi Lettuce or Mitsubishi "Salat" (Photo: Wikipedia)

Mazda Carol Me Lady (another musical)
Chevrolet Citation (translated as "punishment", which is not strange)
Buick LaCrosse (in Canada "lacrosse" means "masturbation")
Daihatsu Naked (he's different when he's dressed)
Papa Zika (because the Zika virus is more popular after all)

Tata Zica (Photo: Tata)

Suzuki Alto Afternoon Tea (tea is probably on the equipment list)
Opel Karl (sounds like some infamous elementary school teacher)
Renault Wind (fortunately there is no “Break” version of the model)
Nissan Hardbody (the so-called "fitness Nissan")
Suzuki Mighty Boy (are they listening to the Village People?)

Daihatsu Rocky (any resemblance to the film is, erm… not coincidental)
Datsun Cherry (what will you say when someone in America steals this car from you?)
Honda Acty Crawler (does this name remind you of a spider or a cockroach?)

Plymouth Duster (good thing it's not a "dustbuster")
Honda Joy Machine (orgasm while driving?)
Daihatsu Scat (ouch)
