Inspira Car Names.

Riding my bike the other day up high st, I passed a car called, "Captiva". Did they mean the name association was going to make people think the car was captivating. The only image I got was being bloodily mangled and held captive in the car after a high speed head-on collision.


Other car names I have seen around the traps include:

Mitsubishi Pistachio

Suzuki Cappuccino

Toyota Picnic

Honda Joy Machine

Dodge Footprint

Toyota Unicorn

Mitsubishi Canter Guts

Mazda Menopausa

Toyota Deliboy


Honda Life Dunk


VW Midgit


Honda Street


Ford Coffina



About 1/2 of those are made up. Dodgy prize for those that can guess which ones.


It make me think that Kevin Spacey from Usual Suspects is working in the marketing department, coming up with the car names. The Holden Keyser Söze. The Ford Coffee Cup. The Toyota Virgil...

They're all made up! Although I like the Canter Guts.

There is a Honda model called the HRV that my aunt was thinking of buying, only she was ashamed that people would think it was a Honda HRT - the Menopausemobile.

I think 7 on that list were actual real car names. And the Canter Guts was one of them!

Please please please let Mazda Menopause be a real car name!
