Fjord

As I saw several lame-o Toyota FJ Cruisers & Jeep Patriots on my commute to work, I wondered aloud, "What other car model names could they come up with that would just suck?".

Well, for sure, any manufacturer could dub their car the "Fjord" and get a laugh.
The "Rapier" would be no good because hoodlums will just pull off the 'i' leaving the driver to tool about in a "Raper". Also, I think any sort of fruit would not make for a good car name.
It would not surprise me for Jeep to release the "Jingo" either. The "Corkscrew" is terrible too. Because of the 'screw' part. No need to remind car buyers of how the dealership gave 'em the shaft.

I could continue with this all day but, you know, work...

Once, while browsing the library for something to read, I was shocked to see the words "The Rapist" on one of the book spines. It turned out to be a career guide for would-be therapists.

My husband was at an elementary school for his job once and there was a poster hanging on the wall that said, "My favorite Rapers." Of course it probably was meant to be rappers.

Why, I'd love to drive a car called 'Grapefruit!'



..or maybe I just want a new car. =)

But yes, where DO these people come up with those horrible names?

PBS said...

I think they should name some of those really small Geo-sized cars names like Mite, Speck or Spot.

Worst car names? How about the Pghlem, the Piece-of-Crap, the Communist, the Agatha, the Jkrlxcmbi, and the Gas-Guzzler?
