Yes, The Book Of Songs. This car is called The Book Of Songs. Most car companies try to give their cars a prestigious, cool, or respectable-sounding name, and... um... I guess “The Book Of Songs” is one way to do that...

“Oh yeah? You think you’re so cool with your ‘Challenger’? You think your ‘Mustang ’ is hot stuff? Well I drive THE FREAKING BOOK OF SONGS!!! Take that, motherrespecter!”

Just imagine.. You waltz into the DMV to register your new car... They ask you what it’s called, and you say “The Book Of Songs”. They go to write it down but then look up at you in confusion. You say, “You heard me”, and they now have to deal with the fact that this exists. You probably just contributed to a DMV employee drowning their sorrows in beer tonight.

Or imagine you’re at church and someone comes in and says “Do any of you drive The Book Of Songs? ‘Cause it’s being towed.” Everyone in the congregation is now confused.

Is the owner’s manual called The Book Of The Book Of Songs?

If I wrote a musical about the owner’s manual, I could call it The Song Of The Book Of The Book Of Songs...

My performers would have to rehearse by using The Songbook Of The Song Of The Book Of The Book Of Songs...

I love this car :)

This is why you cannot easily translate Chinese into languages with words. I’m sure the name is 1-2 symbols in Chinese.

Just like driving a Semi truck, and most construction equipment , th is would be super fun for about a day, after that, it’s work.

It does get bonus points for the name though.

It’s like the car has a little hat!

It’s a baby shoe.

This is a full size shoe.

And the car behind it is called the Detroit Fish:

Not quite as weird as The Book Of Songs, but it gets bonus points for being amphibious.

Ah, yes, the car than made "Merry Beautiful Scenery" and "S-CEO HBJ6474Y" seem brilliant strokes of branding in comparison.

I stand corrected. Wow, that’s ridiculous.

But also very Chinese. This name bleeds Chinese.

Should have been called the Shoe.

Coolbear works, as long as it has a Roadrunner-style cartoon mascot logo. Which, I don’t believe it does.

But, picture a cartoon bear with a backwards baseball cap, winking over sunglasses, and holding a skateboard

“The Shoe Of Songs” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it...
