Continental - What better car name is there to take a coast to coast driving trip than a Lincoln Continental?
Alpine Harrington Le Mans.
Triumph Mayflower. Loved the styling as well.
Ferrari La Ferrari.

Trans Am is even better
When the last name starts with the same letter as the first name, it's usually lame. Like many Ford names. (Ford Focus, Fiesta, Fusion, etc). All lame. Trans Am is a great name.

It was a racing series. Pontiac had a habit of naming their models after racing series/events; Le Mans, Bonneville, Trans Am, Grand Prix, though barely representative in any of the series and not successfully.
I do like Pontiac, but that always sort of bugged me. Better if they had named a Camaro model Trans Am.
De Soto Firedome.

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.

GM was always somewhat anti-racing, and the main sponsor of both AMA bans. It never stopped them from putting little checkered flags on the vette either.

They tried to be cute. Cars started with F, SUVs and vans started with E. Yeah, I know... Mustang, Taurus, Windstar, Aerostar, ... nevermind.
It was an idiotic idea, applied haphazardly across their lineup. Ford Focus, Freestyle, Flex, Fusion, Five Hundred... Fustang? Frown Victoria?
Marketers can be such morons.
Never noticed the consistency of letters on Fords. Or at least never made note of it.
It was a half-assed effort.

Suzuki has Equator. It was actually sold up here.

Chrysler New Yorker.
I once rode in the backseat of the next to last generation model. I remember thinking dang these are plush velour seats.
Pontiac Firefly.
Plymouth Fury.
I loved a lot of the car names from the sixties: Impala, Ranchero, El Camino, Nova, Galaxie, Fury, Rebel, Javelin, Mustang, Fairlane, Wildcat, etc.

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.

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.
