Car Models

Have you ever stopped to really think about the model names of cars?  Well, I have and many of them are absurd.  The sad thing is that most of the lame names are cars that I really like!  This isn't a jab at the cars themselves, just the ridiculous names they have been given.   This post is mostly focusing on models, but I just have to ask......Saturn?  Why name a car after a planet?  And of all planets, the one with the rings???   I just don't understand.  But models are a whole different story......Take for instance the Ford Mustang.  This car has been around forever, but why a mustang?  A mustang isn't exactly a strong or fast horse.  If they wanted a bold and strong horse name, why not Clydesdale, or Arabian.  Now that would make more sense.
And what about the Chevrolet Avalanche?  Isn't an avalanche a bad thing?  Call me crazy.
How about the Buick Lacrosse?  OOOoohh, a Lacrosse, how about the "Cricket" or the "Croquet"...same idea.
Mitsubishi Mirage....Is it really a car, or is it not?  what is it?
Cadillac Escalade, is that short for an escalator?  I don't understand that one.  Especially when you pay the price of a nice home just to own one.
Subaru Brat.  Really, is this some kind of a joke?  Can you just imagine CEO's sitting around a table in a boardroom and deciding that "brat" was a good name for a CAR?  (I'm shaking my head)
Dodge Caravan- was this car named after camels?  Isn't that how camels travel trough the desert with their nomadic owners?  In a Caravan?  They WISH their Caravan was the Dodge variety!
Chrysler Sebring--Isn't that the stuff you wash your face with at night?  come on people-there are some seriously good names out there for cars...Let's use them!
OK, now Volkswagon has a whole slew of models that are just ridiculous....The Golf, the Beetle, the Tiguan...and of course the Rabbit.  Ya, I want a care named after a bunny!
Dodge has another good one... the Neon----come on, Neon?  Makes you wonder what colors this car comes in... 
Ford Fiesta-----you would think these are only sold in Mexico-nope!
Isuzu Rodeo--this is a little odd you've got to admit, I would think anything named after a rodeo would at least be a TRUCK!
And my favorite is the Toyota Sequoia.....who thought it would be a good idea to name a car after a cactus?


This is just a sampling of the cars that pop into my mind right off the bat.  I'm sure there will be an addendum at some point.
If you own any of these models of cars, please don't take this personally.  As I said before, they are simply ridiculous names.  I am not attacking anybody personally or their cars for that matter.  This is all in fun.  We can all still be friends.  It just so happens that my sisters both own one of the more ridiculous names......hmmmmm-so sorry!
