I’m not happy about this. Not at all.

Closest thing? Pontiac Montana.

(Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, for reference.)

It really reflects New York City well, though.

What, like if it still had clear coat and was well polished? I’m sure that’s true.

I’m pretty sure there isn’t one and I’m ok with it.

Toronado. As per GM it has no meaning but it sounds like Toronto, and I thought it was when I was a kid.

No one has named anything after us. Which is a bummer, because Montreal gets this.

I end up with a Chrysler New Yorker.

Since where I live doesn’t have anything I can think of (except that Buick mentioned in a recent thread), here’s one that’s named after where I came from:

Some say the S stands for Seattle.

Singer did a Toronto car.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > SidewaysOnDirt still misses Bowie 11/28/2016 at 12:46

The older ones (pretty much from 1940-1978) were really cool.

This.

No cars share a name with my city/state/region. So I guess I get to use the Ferrari 330 America.

Works for me too, since there’s no car called Sacramento.

You got Rob Ford for mayor though, so you guys are the real winners at everything.

You want to be on a hit list? Because that’s how you get on a hit list.

These come to mind if we forget trucks, busses and such. Named after my country.

Passenger car version of the latter one existed but I can’t find photos of it.

Named after nationality.

Closest you got is Bonneville, though I guess its Bonnyville.

I feel like there should be a car named after Los Angeles, but I don’t know of one. The closest I can think of is “Malibu”, which is a car that never really matched the place, and there was a Pontiac “Catalina”, which is also regional for SoCal.

They should make a special edition of the Ford Raptor called the F-909.

Not really my state but my grandparents live in SD. My great uncle owns one just like above with a stick.

Toyota Tacoma

Well, there is the Tacoma. The city is about 250 miles from where I am but it’s closer than anything other than maybe the Montana. It’s always amused me that Toyota chose to name its truck after a blue-collar city that for Washington residents brings a certain smell to mind, not outdoor recreation.

Yugo Florida

Here’s the official car of Miami Beach. It should be called the Miami edition only available in Cocaine White.

I don’t think it’s actually called Toronto, just that the client who it was built for resides in Toronto. I really should head out to a Cars and Coffee to see if I can hunt for it.

Tacoma is just a few miles south.

The Renault Floride was named after Florida. It was called the Caravelle in the U.S.A.

There is no vehicle named after my city, state, or region. Apparently there is a hvac duct forming machine called a Pittsburgh machine

Nissan Prairie

Illinois used to be almost all prairie, so it sort of works.

Until it was recently moved by Kraft, the Oscar Mayer headquarters was here in Madison, WI so I’m going with the Wienermobile.

Presumably inspired by Boring, Oregon.

Really though, I can’t find anything for Portland, Oregon or the surrounding areas.
