Today's community question: what's the most ridiculous car name you've ever heard?

03 Nov 2015

Some car names really don’t translate well! Here are a few particularly ridiculous ones to get the ball rolling:

Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard
Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal
Geely Rural Nanny

Can you do better?

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I almost bought an Isuzu Mysterious utility (the two door version of the wizard), but somebody else did before I could.

Porsche Macan Turbo.

since Macan was pronounced as “mah-kahn”, in my native language (Malay) it mean eat. Porsche Macan Turbo in my language literally translated is “Porsche eats the Turbo”.

Mitsubishi Starion, it’s meant to be Stallion (bigger than a colt, get the idea?) but someone on the English speaking side of the translation buggered it up from how the Japanese person was saying it. (because the Japanese can’t pronounce Ls very well in case you didn’t know)
