Stutopia Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I just had to vent this, sorry. The wall-to-wall ads for the Vauxhall Adam are driving me nuts. I'm pretty confident this is far and away the most stupid, irritating, ill-conceived car name ever? I'd sooner drive a car called the Peckerwood. PS - I've got nothing at all against Adam as a human's name. Quote
Dblock Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Cool story bro. Do the names clio and megane annoy you equally as much? Quote
Stutopia Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 Not even close. It's one of those mysteries... Quote
Dblock Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Would the name put you off buying one if you was in the market for one? Quote
Stutopia Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 I would be compelled to wonder if the level of thought that went into the name was indicative of the thought applied to other parts of the conception and realisation of the car in general. Quote
BillyZed Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) The name vauxhall is bad enough.... Edited August 18, 2013 by BillyZed Quote
Ekona Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Adam is an incredibly stupid name for a car, no argument here. It's nearly as bad as Ka. Nearly. Quote
Mikesding Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Its taken from the owner of Opel... Adam Quote
Stutopia Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 Lettuce is indeed more rubbish and, dare I say, less tasteful. Sorry. Quote
Mikesding Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 How about the Mitsubishi Lettuce? To be fair after googling it, it looks like they've designed it after a soggy lettuce Quote
BillyZed Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 How about the Mitsubishi Lettuce? To be fair after googling it, it looks like they've designed it after a soggy lettuce Haha yeah that's what I thought! Makes the Adam look good Quote
leonk Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Funny thing, Ferrari Dino (named after Enzo's son) sounds cool whereas an Austin Dino somehow doesn't. I digress, Adam and Lettuce not good names. Quote
LRF4N Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Don't think the Adam name is half as gay as the car itself looks Not as bad as names with symbols in them- up! and cee'd are daft Quote
Dblock Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 The up! Is an awesome name. Look up the different trim levels. Quote

rtbiscuit Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Doesn't bother me nearly as much as American pronouncing the letter z as zeeee or the company Nissan as neeesun. I find Adam fairly inoffensive, much like the car itself 3 Quote

Ekona Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Except that Neesahn is the correct pronunciation. Japanese, innit. That's actually a bad UK translation, and we're fully in the wrong on that one. See also Braun (Brown) and Nike (Nykee, although most people get that right these days). Up would be a good name. up! is a crap one, as it breaks all sorts of grammar rules. Cee'd and Procee'd I can live with. Quote

rtbiscuit Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I find it funny that they say we speak funny. When its our language they butchered in the first place Quote
Dblock Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 How cares how any one says nike or anything. the electric up! is going to be called E Up! and the sporty one GT Up! Quote
Dblock Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Thought you didn't approve of this thread bro? What you talking about bro? D stations has been in since go-live, he's all over these type threads Why did you put a laugh after what you said. Wasn't really funny was it. Quote
