Car manufacturers eschew pretentious texts are usually not in their folder, but sometimes they go by their model to be a rather umm… misleading name. These eight examples are other cars than you on the basis of their name would expect.

Opel Corsa
Opel had in the past, the habit of cars to ranks in the army to call. Admiral, Diplomat, and at the bottom of the Kadett. When she is with an even smaller model came, there was no rank under Kadett and they had to look for a different name. Why she was in hell for the Italian word for ‘contest’ have chosen…? Closed good at the Monza probably. It is that the Corsa, meanwhile, has become commonplace, but actually, they would Italian type names should prohibit for non-Italian manufacturers.

Pontiac Le Mans
In the years ’60 and ’70 sold Pontiac big boats under the name of Le Mans. That is all debatable, vessels calling to the world’s most famous car race, but it can be even worse. In 1988, the Pontiac Le Mans is back, but it was a gerebadgte Opel Kadett. Deawoo sold him also, as Daewoo Racer (the precursor of the Nexia). Such a deception would be punishable.

Suzuki Mighty Boy
It sounds a little seem silly, but it means really is ‘mighty boy’. I don’t know what you are proposing with a powerful boy, but this is the Suzuki meets there in any case.

Lincoln Town Car
For a city car I think of a Smart, Fiat 500 or Aygo, but not to a sloop of five metres. Yet, this is according to Lincoln, apparently the car that you want to have within built-up areas.

Hyundai Excel
Excel did this compact car from Hyundai on any single plane, the reed, and was cheap. That’s about it.

Ford Mustang II Cobra
Was previously discussed in an article entitled ‘you’ll never guess how much horsepower this Mustang II Cobra. If you answer 88 gave, then you went for the refrigerator. It is just not what you expect with such a name (and appearance).

MINI
As well known that you have to be under a rock must have lived to continue to be deceived. Still, it makes no sense, a MINI 4,28 (the new Clubman), where the old 3 yards short, or 30 inches longer if.

Citroen Xsara Picasso
Whether you like it or not, Picasso’s paintings were undeniably original. The Xsara Picasso was not, that was just a copy of the Renault Scenic. Xsara Van Meegeren was a better name.
