I hate the new car "names" like "RL" and "MDX" and "3 Series" and "S40." I'm not buying serial numbers. I'm buying a car. Give me some emotional connection. Whatever happened to the "Legend"?
In any event, here are some car names I'd like to see and a few relevant comments where necessary:
1. The Salubria
2. The Perminar
3. The Lambent
4. The Hiatus, a great name for a cross-over vehicle that people take for weekend jaunts.
5. The Lacuna, another "vacation mobile."
6. The Omphalos, more of a joke for self-centered multi-taskers who do everything but drive safely.
7. The Melliflua
8. The Penumbra
9. The Picosa, a little Mini Cooper killer
10. The Moxie, another Mini Cooper killer
11. The Dalliance, a rakish sports car
12. The Svelte, a gas-sipping commuter car
13. The Ripsnorter, part Element, part Hummer, an aggressive cross-over with lots of testosterone.
14. The Fung Shui, a boxy gas-sipper for smarmy, self-righteous Berkeleyites.
15. The Serengeti, an off-road vehicle for Hummer lovers.
