Agree, this is part of marketing strategy, different segmentation needs different name. Nissan names some of their cars very simple and ear-catching like Pulsar, Sunny, Cedric, Micra, March. While they also create fantastic name for Skyline, besides their luxury division Infiniti.

Agree, Pulsar sounds weird for me, but in some regions it could be a familiar name. Unfortunately its production discontinued, the nicest car name I vote for Citroen Diana..

Where on this earth can I find cars named DA? you're obsessed, too much watching Kajol. ;)

Citroen Diana, a classic car, its' so nice

It's not just cars, though. I remember one of my neighbors having a pop-up camper called a "Nimrod." And where I come from, that's a euphemism for "idiot." Which is funny because it was appropriate.

Not exactly. For example the BMW 316d, 318d and 320d all share the same 2 liter engine, it's just the power output (and the consumption) that differs being electronically regulated.

There are just so many!

Daihatsu Naked, Toyota Deliboy, Suzuki Mighty Boy... and I thought Ford would have known better than the Probe :/

I hadn't heard of these but they made me giggle... I'd love to drive a Daihatsu Naked... hilarious.

My sister recently showed me a picture on facebook of the REVENTON??. Nice looking car. CRAP name.
