[MBZ] Bad car names (was: Re: The Wave)

[R A Bennell]

There was an interesting kit that could make a Fiero look a lot like a Ferrari from a distance. They were a real
bear to get in and out of. The door sill was high and wide as I believe it was part of the structure of the car. I
remember sitting in one in a dealer showroom and being almost unable to get back out- and that was long ago when I
was much younger and thinner. I probably couldn't get out now.

Excellent list. When I was a volunteer firefighter we used to call the
Fiero 'The REAL Firebird". Many ended up as crispy critters.

I think there are other cars that are candidates for stupid names.



Cadillac Cimmaron  -- Also a bad car

Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman - Is it lucky (or evil)?

Buick Reatta - Did they misspell regatta?

Plymouth Caravelle - just a bad name for another K car

Dodge Diplomat - Really? Have you ever seen a real Diplomat in one of
these.

Pontiac Parisienne  -- I bet there aren't many of these in Paris

Bentley Azure - Is that a color?

Chevy Luv (Truck) - Insert your own hick joke here.

Pontiac Fiero - also a stupid car.  Perhaps it was prophetic given the
fact that these cars had fire troubles.

Ford Aspire - yea it aspires to be a real car.
