OK, mirroring the other thread, what are the cool car names?

I have a 71 Olds Cutlass convertible. "Cutlass" is a cool name. Big old sword used by pirates...

The Dodge Challenger is a cool name as in challenge the other guy to a race...

GMC Yukon. You could drive one to the Yukon.

Isuzu Trooper. Nothing fancy. Spartan. Utilitatian. Like a private in the army...

Miata. Perfect chick name for a chick car...

Is that to say the cutlass should have been renamed once the 80's came along?

In 1970, "Nova" was the perfect name for the Nova, because that was the last year for the top performer engine; a 396 big block. Before 1970 the power was small but got better every year. After 1970, the power went downhill.

A Nova is a star that gets brighter and brighter then burns out.

Viper, Cuda, Stingray, Firebird, Mustang Mach 1... Nah. There are no words for the awsome "442"!

Mitsubishi Eclipse - all of the oil burning smoke eclipses the sun.... at least all but the latest versions- lets home that problem has been eliminated... time and mileage will tell.

Dodge Shadow - same thing, all of the oil burning causes big shadows. I have never in my life seen so many oil burning cars than the late 80s-early 2000s Mopars and Mitsubishis.... depending on th engines... there were two different engines they used that were terrible for oil burning.
