What's the Worst Name for a Car?

We could make up all kinds of silly stuff if we want to.

I envision a Prelude to a Civic Accord.
Something to look forward to.

A Whippet is a racing dog, sort of a miniature greyhound. It would have been appropriate at a time when cars were trying to sell a rapid mode of transit.

An unofficial nickname in Canada ran the rounds during the '60s, when Chrysler sold Valiants which were actually a meld of the U.S. Valiant and Dodge Dart. Since the car was sold by both Dodge and Plymouth dealers, it was presented as a stand-alone model.So the cars became known as Varts. Someone proposed that Ford should buy the Valiant name and combine it with Mercury’s Comet…

If we go back to the days right after WW II, Oldsmobile sold cars with hand controls for disabled veterans, and the model name was Oldsmobile Valiant.

I know that. The dogs in my post were as close as I could come to Whippets. :smile:

Tiguan and Teuareg are my least favorite modern vehicle names. I may have spelled them wrong. And I don’t care. VW must not either because it just killed off the second name and switched to Atlas. I was also never a fan of the Subaru B9 Tribeca. That name was also killed off and will be replaced this year.

How in the world do you pronounce that anyway? Twan, Ti-gwan, tig oh on, or what? A name that can’t be pronounced isn’t a good name.

It is like an Iguana with a T and no A at the end :slight_smile:
