There's also the "Mitsubishi Mum 500 Shall We Join Us? " (the ? is part of the name, just like with the Firepower!'s name.),
 
I'll start with one:

Daihatsu Naked

McLaren MP4-12C.
How original....

And the BMW Z4 sDrive35is.
 
Daihatsu MOVE B**CH. Well that was a totally appropriate name for a car :rolleyes: .
 
Any car that has a sequence of strange numbers and letters after the manufacturers name.
 
Toyota Quick Delivery and Toyota Mega Cruiser. Can't remember the import site that I found all the names of the production/commercial Japanese vehicles. But there were laughs to be had in there.
 
Mitsubishi space wagon What does it have to do with space
 
Because there is alot of space inside.




For small people
 
Ferrari FXX.

FXX rated speed.

FXX rated handling.

FXX rated price.

It is... the Ferrari FXX.
 
Celicaas
Toyota aygo It more like I GO
Click to expand...

Isn't that kinda the point?

Some older cars have odd names like Wartburg (which in fairness makes more sense in its native German) and Borgward Isabella.
 
Honda Life Dunk.
 
Another one: Suzuki Mighty Boy.
 
Gumpert... Really odd.
 
As there is BEST in the title.

DeTomaso Pantera.
 
Volkswagen up! has been a bit weird to me, no idea about you guys.
 
Daihatsu Charade has to be the worst name for a car ever.

"an absurd pretense intended to [falsely] create a pleasant or respectable appearance"

Honorable mention has to go to the Mazda Laputa. La puta literally means 'the whore' in Portuguese and Spanish.

Quite a few other Mazdas and Daihatsus have questionable names too. Such as the Mazda Scrum, the Mazda Bongo Friendee, Mazda Familia Interplay X, the Daihatsu D-Bag, Daihatsu Scat

Some of those are so absurd they are actually kind of cool.

Some other ones I like, all from Japan of course:
Isuzu Bellett
Mitsubishi Canter Guts
Daihatsu Terios Kid AERO DOWN CUSTOM X
Nissan March SUPERTURBO
Suzuki Every Joy Pop Turbo
Isuzu Bighorn
Nissan Leopard J. Ferie
Toyota Crown
Mazda Eunos Cosmo

Mitsubishi Carisma.
Looks more like the Mitsubishi Socially Awkward to me.

Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 722 Stirling Moss Edition.
Yeah. Try to put that on any car-related paperwork.

The Stupid
Suzuki Cappuccino :odd: We're still waiting for it's predecessor the Latte... *tumble weed*
Mitsubishi Pajero... for obvious reasons.
Mitsubishi Carisma (yet it has the charisma of a rake)
Honda Jazz (well the people driving them clearly need to 'Jazz' up a bit... *yet another tumble weed*)
Nissan Sunny (most inappropriate name possible)

The Awesome
Pontiac Firebird
Ford Thunderbird
Plymouth Superbird (why do American car company's have obsessions with birds?)
TVR Cebera/Chimaera
Ariel Atom (bomb)
Dodge Viper/Charger/Challenger
Shelby Cobra
