I want a car company to name their electric car 1 of 2 names:

1) The Capacitor, with The Flux being the highest end trim level

2) The Watt, just so they could have Lil John do the commercials with “turn down for Watt!”

Mitsubishi FHQWHGADS? I mean, come on, fhqwhgads? Everybody to the limit, Mitsubishi to the limit, and it must have been fhqwhgads.

If the numbers are correct it is interesting that “i” isn’t more popular.

Also, a Lincoln Marxism would be the Mercedes 600 Grosser fighter no one asked for but all now need. And I imagine the Suzuki Sexism to be either some sort of sport bike or t-rex/slingshot equivalent.

Ford SIXAXLE 4x4 is a thing that needs to happen. It’d be like that Suburban on NPOCP with a bogey axle only with MOAR. Also, the Mitsubishi FHQWHGADS needs to be based on the Delica.

I'd buy a car called the Climax.

I’d bet that the Acura PizzaJazz would still be boring as hell even with the most fantastical name of all time.

Minus points for giving BMW (and other companies that have alpha-numeric naming conventions) actual names.

If it looked a lot like your avatar, I’d seriously consider it and push my (future) wife toward it for child transport duties.

BMW could do the 555x. It even sounds like one of their models. Tack on a few high hitting letters, too, like z & j, and you might have a winner.

SexClimax is even better.

If Toyota actually made a Sienna on a Taco chassis, I'd have one in my driveway in a heartbeat.

If Oldsmobile was still a thing, I would actually support a “Goodwood”.

Must be named “Climax”...

I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next few gens there will be a ‘55’ motor, even though it probably wont be 5.5 L.

My own version: I wouldn’t be surprised if that one was inspired by mine:
