I loved a lot of the car names from the sixties: Impala, Ranchero, El Camino, Nova, Galaxie, Fury, Rebel, Javelin, Mustang, Fairlane, Wildcat, etc.

Never knew that.  I always liked Pontiac names but, yeah, why make those the car names if you're not even really competing in those races. 

It wasn't about competing in those races, but more of how you wanted to arrive at the locations those races were at. More about the lifestyle of the scene in the '60s rather than the event itself.
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

I nominate the Mazda Giga Light Dump, the Suzuki Every Joypop Turbo, and the Asia Rocsta

Mazda Bongo Friendee and Bongo Brawny.



Love the Japanese Engrish naming of cars...

I've always liked Dodge's names- the Dart, the Charger, Challenger. Too bad about the cars themselves....

Acura Legend is a great one, so is Toyota Land Cruiser, Land Rover Discovery, Lincoln Continental. I also liked Nissan Maxima.
