Jenson Interceptor - sounds like something that could happen in an F1 race.

Interceptor is just one one from the more old school macho days of English cars. Like the Gilbern Invader or summat.
Not to be compared to the Mazda Bongo Friendee, for example.

I thought it was Italy for that name, hence they changed it to shogun
Saying that, it probably sums up most 4x4 drivers anyway

Renault Velsatis. WTF?
Another vote for the Mitsubishi Carisma. Not because it's a bad name per se, but because it's so inappropriate.
Land Rover Defender. Great car, stupid name.
Funnily enough I saw a Friendee Bongo last night and it makes the list too.
Hyundai Atoz.
