    You know, I never thought about how gay that sounded until you pointed it out, it's almost on the same level as probe.

    there are some cars that have really gay names, mostly the korean cars, (hyndia, Kia, Suzuki)

    But when it comes to Japs cars, there is one name I cannot stand and thats Evolution.

    I understand its a lancer, but why is it an Evolution, how the hell is it evolved?

    Just because its more boosted than a raging whore on ice, does not mean its evolved.

    Heck hybrids deserve to be called Evolution, alot more than the lancer.

    They should of called the Mitsubishi lancer, Boost Solution.

    That's fairly appropriate, because then they'd be called what they truly are: BS.


    Here's a few of my favorites:

    CRX
    Holden Monaro
    Vanquish
    Enzo
    Corvette
    Legend
    Prelude
    Phantom
    Gremlin
    Mosler


    And a few not-so-faves:

    Enclave
    Bonneville
    Elantra
    Rondo
    Aztek
    Sable
    Versa
    Studebaker
    Blackwood
    anything that has a "GT" trim line

    Well my point is that too many lame-ass vehicles have a 'GT' moniker (Hyundai Accent, for example) and it detracts from the true sports cars that deserve it, such as your famed McLaren.

    Cadillac used to have some slick sounding names...before they hopped on the bandwagon and renamed all of their cars using only letters. That's another thing...I don't like these letter and number names...every single luxury brand seems to have done that.

    Cadillac
    Eldorado
    Deville
    Brougham
    Catera

    Ferrari
    Fiorano
    Modena
    Maranello
    Scaglietti

    Wait...my favorite!

    Volkswagen Scirocco

    Here are some more that I thought of.

    Rolls Royce Phantom
    Maybach Exelero

    Bentley
    Continental
    Flying Spur
    Arnage
    Azure
    Brooklands

    Chevrolet
    Impala
    Corvette
    Trailblazer

    Chrysler Crossfire
    "Sebring" sounds nice...but the car isn't at all. Same goes for the Avenger and Stratus. Magnum's a cool name though, as is Charger.

    I know I said I didn't like the letters and numbers bit...but Aston Martin has some nice names for their trim levels. Aston Martin sounds great by itself.

    Volante
    Lagonda
    Vantage
    Vanquish sounds nice too.

    The GMC 'Sierra' is a dumb name for a truck though...the smaller "Canyon" sounds more aggressive than that. Also, the Lincoln Mark LT? What the hell?

    Hyundai Tiburon sounds cool. Kia Rondo does not. The Euro-spec "Rondo" is called the Kia Carens. That sounds much better.

    Maserati Quattroporte...what a lovely way of simply saying "four doors".

    Mercury Milan and Montego...not bad.

    Mini Cooper...I like.

    Panoz Esperante

    Saturn Sky...perfect name for a great car.

    Subaru B9 Tribeca...

    Yea, but then they realized that it would be blasphemous to turn the Mustang into a front-wheel-drive car.

    Likes: (anything that helps to draw an image or something distinct- even more so if it is relevant to the particular car)

    Dislikes: I hate Honda for not giving the S2000 a more distinctive image by giving it a better name. I love my car, but the name is so forgettable. Any series of seemingly meaningless numbers and letters almost instantly garners my contempt. Unless the car is actually great (note that the majority of my examples are cars that I like and ones that are great vehicles)
