<< hyundai esteem, who needs a car called esteem? Besides, my lawnmower has more power than that thing >>
Don't you mean Suzuki Esteem?
What does the 'PT' in PT Cruiser stand for? I looked on their site, but couldn't find the answer.
And does the name make the car or the car make the name? I'm certain it's the latter. Can you name an awesome car with a 'stupid' name? Can you name a lame car with a great name?

<< everytime i see a MUSTANG COBRA.. i just want to beat the hell out of the person who named it. i mean.. come on.. what the hell is a HORSE SNAKE?!?! pick ONE animal and stick to it. >>
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it the great Carroll Shelby himself who came up with that name? (Albeit Shelby Mustang Cobra or something along those lines)
<< Ford(?) Town & Country

It's CHRYSLER
<< Ford Powerstroke .. that is cheezy >>
Powerstroke isn't the name of a car or a truck
<< Ford Echo >>
Someone doesn't know their cars
LAUST - you forgot M3, M5, A4, S4 too 😀
<<Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it the great Carroll Shelby himself who came up with that name? (Albeit Shelby Mustang Cobra or something along those lines)
Yeah, Caroll Shelby first created the truly famous, endlessly kit car reincarnated, Shelby AC Cobra, with a Ford 289 V-8 (and later the 427) in that beautiful British AC Bristol body (built by AC since the fifties for/with a 4 cylinder, like the Sunbeam Alpine become Sunbeam Tiger, with the same Ford small block V-8). Soon thereafter, Ford hired him to tart up their Mustangs in house and grace them with the now famous Cobra name.
<<it's {Town and Country} chrysler. they used that name before for a station wagon and carried it over.>>
That name goes back further than the '60's onwards Chrysler station wagons you're most likely referring to, all the way back to the distinctive and eminently collectible real wood "woody" post war sedans and convertibles.
Ford's wagon was the Country Squire -- it's fake wood applique meant it was top 'o the line! 🙂
But, HEY, someone help me out here. The real reason I'm in this thread is for ugly car model names, and I can't remember, but an oriental manufacturer who came "relatively" late to the US market had a whole range, like four different names, that sounded like computer generated rejects picked by a non-English speaker. They were hands down the lamest car model names I had ever heard, and were all replace after only a couple of years. For some reason, I can't shake the feeling it was Mitsubishi, but I guess that's wrong, so it must have been some Korean manufacturer -- but not Hyundai or Kia -- was it Daewoo? CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT HERE? 😕
Trust me, these names were the absolute worst!

My friend's Dad had one of these (convertible!) when I was in High School.
That was some nice car!
