Merry Christmas everyone! Can you think of any others?

How about the Mitsubishi Carisma? Nothing remotely 'Charismatic' about that thing, just another everyday commuter car.

[CarlBank]

What about the Mitsubishi Pajero... It was re named 'Montero' in spain and south America after Mitsubishi found out that 'Pajero' means 'Wanker' in spanish...

I disagree about the suzuki swift. I think it fits it.

[cluckinbell]

The “Swift” name for the compact Suzuki hatch applies to its nimble handling. Literally. The car itself is not meant for top speed. (Dunno why you took and translated the term “Swift” to “velocity”)The latest base model Swift (zc83s) has a dry weight of whopping 840kg. For the last three generations, Suzuki made the Swift larger in proportion and somehow they managed to cut nearly 200kg of weight off of the car and simultaneously improving rigidity thanks to the all new rigid and lightweight body shell (Suzuki Heartect). And we can all appreciate this little car with a price point below 10k. (In Japan) and the Swift “Sport” models only under 15k. I personally think that we should be thankful the fact that some car manufacturers are still selling us lightweight budget hothatches for us broke youngsters even in the 2010s when an entire vehicle’s personalities are measured all in the name of 0-60 records.(as you can tell by this video.)

Gonna go and say #1 will be the Mustang Mach E

As a Czech guy I gotta say that there was nothing rapid about Rapid. You should have mentioned the Rapid from 70's which really was rapid. Compared to a new one, Rapid was a disapointment.

My Ford Escape has a stupid name. 0 to 60 in the mid 7 seconds. What the hell is it Escaping from? A damn Civic?

Imagine this:
My grandmother used to own an Austin Princess.


*Your grandpa is a princess?*

Sure the base Swift is not that Swift
But the Swift Sport is pretty Swift

[tr]

Here are my (slightly less serious) six:
VW Sharan - saw a bloke driving one and I'm sure he wasn't called Sharon
Ford Galaxy - it's big but not galaxy sized
Nissan Micra - the old ones were small but now they're just normal sized
VW Up - it was coming down a hill
Dacia Duster - you can't clean your house with it
Ford Focus - doesn't stop their drivers from being distracted by their phones

[Deadbass_]

Pontiac Fiero - slow for its name
Chrysler 300M - doesn’t even remotely come close to its historic 300s
Pontiac Grand Prix - lost its heritage over the years of its run
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross - poor name usage, insults previous eclipse names
Dodge Dart - nowhere is considerably fast nor follows its older Dart nameplate
Chevrolet (Trail)Blazer crossovers - neither follow their predecessors with the name.
Acura Legend - Not exactly a legendary car by any means
GMC Terrain - Despite it’s name, is nowhere near capable of off-roading, even basic ones
Chevrolet Sonic - Fast name, only makes less than 130 horses

Why does everybody slate BL cars for always rusting? Sure, they did rust, but didn’t every car of the 70’s do that?

[vizmuvesjanos]

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. It's not at all a sprinty or fast vehicle, it's a multi purpose van.

[Skligmund]

Ever drive a Rampage? One of those cars that you never realize how fun it is until you start driving it hard. As an example, Roadkill recently got one, and they have mad fun with it. I had a blast with my 85 Plymouth Turismo, which was basically the same thing.

[iKurnava]

Skoda Rapid was really rapid. In 1984 there was first generation of this car. It was sport version of Skoda 120 (type 742). New model of Rapid (from 2011) is named Rapid only because is sport version of Skoda Fabia (newer version of Skoda Felicia which was newer model of Skoda 120). So that name Rapid is not for speed but for history of this brand

[tomasgurrieri]

"Mini" Countryman, there's just nothing small about it, apart from its appeal of course

[adnanabdillahghifari]

Hyundai "Excel" from Microsoft Office Excel
