konnnneeeeeeeeeeiiigggeeeeeeeeeesssssssseeeggggggg ee *spelling*
(I know it's a guy's name but it's good for the humour factor).
Nissan "sunny" - that car is about as sunny as a hurricane.
Yugo Zastava - ummm.
****roen *spelling*.
Fiat Cappuchino - i don't want to drive a posh coffe (or a fiat for that matter lol).
Fiat Chinkicankychento *spelling* who came up with that? bet the dealers
have to go on a 3 day course just to say the name.
any small Fiat "sporting" - who are they trying to convince.
Maserati Quattroporte - translated means Maserati Four door, lack of imagination there.
Nissan Cherry - the coulour the owner turns when he admits he's got one cherry red.

i'm sure i'll think of more

p.s. must get my spellchecker checked

Cinquecento means 500 in Italian and as far as I can tell is extremely easy to pronounce.

The ignorance level on this BBS is stunningly high.

LOL totally agree. When you leave one of them behind on a dual carriageway in a diesel, it makes you think!:D

True. And one of the worst cars too !! Around 4 litre yet with only 110 bhp,
and 20 mpg introduced at the time of the 73 oil crisis !! (No, I'm not that old !) :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: And ugly as sin to boot !

LOL its a Suzuki not a Fiat.

I think some Fiat names sound great.Used to love the Mirafiori(sp)? name.

As a Skoda owner,I accept Superb was a bad choice.But as said,Mitsubishi Charisma takes the biscuit on the oxymoron front
