What is the strangest name for a vehicle?

I saw a Nissan Qashqai today and I thought, what the heck kind of name is that?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qashqai

What are your favorite names for a vehicle. Include pics and definition of the name and a cool video is nice also.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Dodge Caravan, That name is ok in America, but in Britain the word "caravan" is a name for what we call a "trailer", Thus when seen in England they think its a vehicle that must be towed. Does'nt say much for its reliability ,eh

My all-time favorite is the Chevy Nova, which had to be renamed when sold in Central/South America. It wasn't selling under the old name, which means "doesn't go" in Spanish.

It wasn't renamed for Puerto Rico, I had at least three family members that owned different generations of the Nova, and never heard a no-go joke about the cars for as long as they owned them.

Nope, this is an urban legend. Snopes has an interesting write up.

I never got over the Lamborghini Urraco, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urraco

The norm was to use Bull names for their cars, but to this date I haven't been able to find out where that word came from.

I'm fond of the Isuzu Rodeo (and a reasonably satisfied past owner).

RO-de-o?

Ro-DAY-o?

I guess it depends on whether you are a Beverly Hills or cowboy wannabe.

I pretty much think that car makers should stay away from the letter P when they are naming their cars. My least favorite name is the Prius but only slightly worse than the Probe. I don't like where probes go and I certainly don't want to ride in one.

Toyota's Hybrid "Impact" was stupid name for a car. What is even more ridiculous is that this was their hybrid introduction. Only one name could be worse than this for a car - Crash.

Who can forget the AMC Pacer? Oh okay.....most people.

We owned one and I quickly learned what goldfish must feel like. There was nothing horse-like in it's shape or design.

"Light Dump"-- Some peoples' reaction during near-miss accidents. NOT the kind of association I'd want people thinking of!
