I miss the days when cars actually had cool names........
Viper
Stingray
Camaro
Barracuda

Now we get Fusion and/or alphabets and numbers.

Another one that sort of fits in with what you’re talking about here is “Wildcat.” It sounds pretty cool until you consider the following two things:

1) a wildcat is basically the wild counterpart of an ordinary house cat; and
2) the car the name was applied to is a Buick.

Agreed. I think it says something about our creativity, among other things.
