anything from BMW as they are just numbers with a letter bunged on the end to keep the alpha numeric peace, the cincechento mosterosity, and the VW lupo, as it just makes me thing some massivly dyslexic person (no offence to anyone dysleic) tried to put polo on the back and failed biblically.

but hey, thats just me,

on the contrary good car names, like vanquish, valante, murcielago, cerbera etc etc,

i suppose for very good car name there must be a bad to keep the balance,

Any new BMW or Mercedes since the numbers on the back seem to have nothing to do with the actual capacity of the engine.

Think he means BMW and Merc names are crap "since they ceased to represent anything to do with engine capacity like they used to".

"Since" does not mean "because" in this instance.

oh, and it's 2 seater in MR2 I think.

Nowt wrong with cinquecento (500) or Lupo (wolf (ish)) IMO

BMW started the mess years back with the old 525e, which was a 2.8. Now with the 325/330/335 all have a 3 liter engine makes a mild mess of things.

The americans have some good ones - Corvette, Viper.

Vauxhall have some bad ones - Chevette, Astra, Cavalier
