What was the worst named streetcar of all time? There are 2 catagories to compete in, American and Other then American.

This maybe of help.

My American nominee is the Studebaker Dictator.

YuGo?

Owners were lucky if they actually got to go.

The Chevy Nova, which was suprisingly a big seller to Hispanics, at least in West Texas where I grew up. (FYI- Nova means "no go" in Spanish)

This is exactly what I thought of when I saw the thread, can I have my brain cell back now? I don't have enough left to share ;)

I think that both the Pacer and Gremlin are some of the dumbest names of cars, plus two of the biggest POS you can ever imagine.

I never understood the Citation name. Why would I want a Citation?

Probe. If you actually want that POS, at least buy the Mazda MX-6!

The Japanese models that have nonsense words strike be as the silliest.

Toyota Camry
Mistubishi Carol (sold in produce deptartment of food markets)
Nissan Sentra
Mitsubishi Galante

As RacinM3 pointed out, more mfg's are heading down that path to silliness with the Escalante and Tiburon.

Personally, I would really like to see GM or Ford show some stones and name one of their SUV's the Giganto or Mastodon
