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!
Unfortunately it is not. but the Honda Joy Machine is!
