Now here's another question: What would be some cool names for new cars? Some suggestions would be: Phantom Thrasher Brawler Anybody have any other names?
,, Honda of questionable masculinity Ford bang and smoke Chevy PJ-4 (Product of Japan, 4 mile warranty) Pontiac Montezuma's Revenge Mitsubishi Error-11 Scion CC (Corrugated Cardboard) I have no clue what a scion is or who makes it but it came up during my thought process when i was typing
Lets see...for GM I would say the "ditto" (cause they all look the same) for Ford I would say "SOS" (same ol'...well you know :laugh: ) The Chevy "hampster" The Ford "guinea pig" The Pontiac "wanna-be" The Olds "whats that?" The Cadillic "its not a truck I swear" The Buick "carbon copies" The Saturn "on another planet" The GMC "NAC" (not a chevy) The dodge "its got a hemi" The audi "TP" (you guys should know what TP is) :laugh: The BMW "0U812" The Chrystler "bon fire" Thats all I can come up with for now :laugh: hope you guy's like :TU:
since alot of "American" cars are built in Mexico or Canada: Chevy Chimichanga Pontiac Puerto Vallarta Olds Ontario Mercury Montreal Ford Fajita no offense intended to Canadian or Mexican Buick brothers.
How about the PontiChevaBuick "Cookie Cutter"? The "Melted JellyBean"? Actually, I'd like Lutz to have the cojones to come out with a new "Buick GS400". - Freed
yes it would be great if it was buick powered not just another small block SHIVY powered P.O.S like the GTO :eek2: :shock: FORD backwards DROF or Driver Returns On Foot :eek2:
The 2005 Buick Gran "there's no @#$% d on the end you moron" Sport. Yeah, the name plate would take up the whole rear of the car, but I'd buy it in a heartbeat. -- Steve
Real Car Name Guidelines This from my archived "Real Cars Have:..." list from an old newsgroup: --------------------------- Real Cars have a Real Name. Either: 1) one that conjures up images of speed/ power; LeSabre, Galaxie, Wildcat, Charger, Skylark, Barracuda, Mustang, Corvette, Dart, Lancer, Marlin, Demon. Or 2) a name that sets an image or conveys the purpose of the car. Valiant, Imperial, Royal, Swinger, Scamp, Duster and *Turnpike Cruiser.* 3) a name that has some real meaning, connected with the car itself; Z28, GS455, 442, R/T, Trans Am, TR6, etc, But NOT: 1) a name conjuring up images of harmony and togetherness; Accord, Civic, Prelude, Tempo, Stanza, Legacy, vigor. 2) a name made up of words having no meaning; Maxima, Tercel, Corolla, Previa, etc, What the hell is Justy? Cordia? Tredia? Paseo? Passat? Supra? Celica? Montero? Golf? (well, that one has a meaning, but it's NOT automotive) Worse, what's a Camry, a Cressida, a Tercel, a Corolla? Toyota is one of the worst with this. 3) non-words that are supposed to evoke some emotion or something (yeh, right) such as: Integra, Impreza, Loyale, Galant, Prizm (not a word--the optical device is spelled with an "s.")
Carl, I always wanted to build a custom 2-seater mid engined Big Block Buick and call it the Phantom. I have been talking about making one for years, the same thing happened before I started building the X-Camino. You might see it yet. Duane
all the new cars shoulld be names after the designer so we would have an easier time figuring out who to blame or congratulate some of the ugly new stuff makes me:ball: :ball: :ball: ho about taking 2 3800s and making them into a V12 7.6 liters of supercharged fun
Re: Real Car Name Guidelines I'd add under "NOT": 4) a collection of letters and numbers that aren't words and only make sense to people that know the brand such as Q45, 740iL, 190E, 300m and IS300. - Freed
