"Aries" Is both the name for Lee Iaccoca's company saving economy car, and the name the greeks gave to the God of War. I imagine this vehicle to be the exact opposite of what he would want to ride into battle with.

So what other car names end up writing checks the car itself can't cash?

Ford Fusion. I tried shaving my beard with the grille and it doesn't work.

GMC Safari and Chevy Astro.

I know my van couldn't do more than a rutted dirt trail before giving up, so traversing a Safari is out of the question.

The Astro does not double as a rocket ship.

Aries is an astrology sign, the ram (that should knock it down a notch further). Ares is the greek god of war. Funfact: Ares' Roman counterpart Mars' emblem is used by Volvo.

The car wasn't going fast enough to Fuse your face to it.

Chevrolet Celebrity. Pretty sure these were driven exclusively by non-celebrities.

Ford Aspire unless you look at it as something aspiring to one day be a car

Scion xD, because you generally don't "xD" when you drive one. Neither does the car

Also Jeep Compass, because you can only go south from there...assuming you can go anywhere since it has no off-road capability (for a Jeep)

Oh, good. I'm not the only one who thinks it's the Ford Gillette Fusion for Men with Triple-Blade Action and a Shitty Engine

I did not think to stand the name on end. So my wife's old xB is not only squinting all goofy but it's also buck-toothed like SpongeBob.
