Josh you suck, this looks nothing like a ****ty Sky. I thought Namib was a cool name. We already have the renault Kangoo in Europe. Tiguan is a ybrid of Tiger and Iguana. At least VW didn’t take an old GM Europe name (Calibra) and then spell Calibre wrong out of it. Speaking of Calibres how about shooting Dodge Calibers with .45s?

GMrules, did anyone ever heard about american cars having issues? Hell yes, more than you could count every day. VW did chose a crappy name, it won by a “clear majority” but all others names where just worst!

Maybe here in America they can change the name to like Kanga, or Kangaroo or something silly like that, since they feel the need to go back to Rabbit and all.

What’s with the name? I’m sure they will go with it for a few months, and then the new ad guys will rename it “Bobcat” or some other small fast fuzzy creature.

Hey Aster, you are WRONG on the Nova naming “error”:

agreed. i loved the concept A

At least the name won’t be confused with any other car unlike the ones who have letters and numbers. I hope they can stay true to the concept because too many vehicles lose their punch when translated from showfloor to showroom.

Just call it the “Painful Rectal Itch” and be done with it.

Why not go with The Thing?

Jig, you’d be surprised how much power my Cavalier puts down to its front wheels.

JS, good list but you forgot the most famous auto naming error ever – the Chevy Nova =

Nova = No Va = No Go = not a good way to sell reliability

By: GMrules

GMrules — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 15:12:32 +0000

Too bad it will break down as soon as you drive it off the lot. When was the last time you heard of an American car having quality issues?

By: JS

JS — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 15:06:46 +0000

Ok, I choose “Tiguan” if the other names are Nanuk, Namib, Rock****, Cacan, etc. Where do marketing guys receive the inspiration from for giving names to cars? Smoking pot?

Another unpronouncable VW name…at least it’s better than Rockton, though.
