Default Stupid model names

Looking around, there has been some really diabolical names for car models in the past years, and there looks to be a few at the moment! It seems the Asian manufacturers have nearly got a monopoly on the total nonsense style of naming, but Holden has come out with one of their own just recently which I have included in the list below.

Here's a few for starters, but feel free to add to the list if any names have caught your attention, be they hillarious or just stupid.

* Holden Barina "SportsGirl"
* Nissan Pulsar "Reebok"
* Suzuki MightyBoy
* Suzuki Jimny
* Hyundai Terracan (Terror-Can???!!!)
* Nissan Cedric (classic!)
* Subaru Sherpa (WTF!)
* Ferrari SuperAmerica (honestly, WTF)
* Toyota Tercel
* Nissan Bongo van

... and as mentioned above, a newcomer from The General!
* Rebadged HSV Grange - Buick Royaum "Sporty" !?!?

You just have to wonder WTF was going on in the minds of the approval boards who signed off on these names!! : :ticking: :
