Lincoln blackwood (its a $65,000 yuppie pick up truck with a powered toneau cover/lift gate) Anything that just puts "BLACKWOOD" across the back on the lift gate is just wrong. I've seen about 5 of them in the total, the first with the BF sitting in my passenger seat screaming at the top of lungs.... OMG ITS A BLACKWOOD! I think I gave him the most horrified look, and he was like no no its a truck, and we make the powered latches and stuff for it at work.... apparently lincoln doesn't sell many. oh and the edselwood.

What do they pick up? Gold bars for deposits in the bank? And, madame strict rulemaker here...cars named after carmakers' kids are kinda borderline out of bounds--I mean, there'd be no Mercedes...
Ford Falcon from the 70s or 80s..... not much of a Falcon, maybe closer to pinto performance... still, a comfortable car.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(galaxee @ Jul 3 2006, 08:45 AM) [snapback]280518[/snapback]</div> It seems to me this one is even stupider than THAT, as the aviator IS the pilot who DOES the flying...So, what we have here is a $40k SUV that doesn't even need you...and haven't we all heard about what happens around vehicles that drive themselves...?

Le grille? what the hell le grille?! :lol: Toyota Hilux Invincible Geely CK1.5 MR7151A (I kid you not, that's the name) http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/new-cars/chin...0000-148156.php They expect to meet the quality of GM when they can't even line up the badges.
Here's a list of boring cars named after exciting places: Dodge Aspen (they've recycled the name; now there's a chrome-laden SUV called a Chrysler Aspen) Chevy Malibu Seat Ibiza Ford Grenada Chevy Corsica Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Tuscon Chevy Tahoe Chrysler New Yorker Dodge Daytona Dodge Monaco Mitsubishi Eclipse Saturn Chevy Monte Carlo Chevy Bel Air Cadillac El Dorado Suzuki Reno Toyota Sequoia Ford Fairmont Mercury Monterey Pontiac Montana Kia Rio Pontiac Phoenix Pontiac Ventura
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Jul 5 2006, 11:08 AM) [snapback]281526[/snapback]</div> You can add: Pontiac LeMans (especially that Daewoo version) Chrysler Sebring
Funny eh.. At DC headquarters: Hmm.. we need another SUV to boost sales but we don't want to waste money creating another one. What can we do? The Chrysler brand must have a halo SUV just like we have the T&C minivan. I know! We shall take the Dodge Durango, steal the Aspen name from Dodge too and we'll call it the Chrysler Aspen! It's brilliant! It'll have a big chrome grille like the 300.
The AMC "Gremlin". As defined by Merriam Webster's: grem-lin: a cause of error or equipment malfunction. Nonetheless, successful in spite of (or perhaps because of) its name.
