Names that don't suit the car

[Fernandez]

Whilst sitting in traffic today I noticed a few cars that really shouldn't have been called what they are.

For example:

• Ford Focus TITANIUM - The mere mention of such an exotic metal conjurers up images of lightweight and performance, 2 things an oil burning focus isn't. Has it got any titanium in it at all!
• Mazda PREMACY - although not a word in the English dictionary the word Premacy does give an air to Supremacy. domination: power to dominate or defeat are not words I would use to describe a crappy little van with windows and seats for multiple children.
• Kia PRIDE - I seriously doubt that Pride is an emotion that comes with owing a Kia.

I'm sure there's loads more so its open to you lot to poke fun at other cars..

Honda Prelude. Prelude to what exactly?

An action or event serving as an introduction to something more important.

Maybe it was immediately and purposely placed in the shadow of the NSX?

Honda Jazz.

There's nothing jazzy about a smouldering rectangle of pink campness. It's a Rylan with wheels. The Honda Rylan.
