Top 10 Worst Car Names
Number 10
Subaru Brat
Maybe “bastard” would’ve been a better name. Brat is really the acronym for “Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter.” From 1978 through 1987, this Japanese interpretation of the El Camino/Ranchero car/pickup may have one of the worst car names and indifferent power, but it was still fun.Number 9
Cadillac Cimarron
The car that nearly killed Cadillac could’ve been called anything. It still would’ve bruised GM badly. Names like Eldorado and Seville sounded prestigious and exotic. In that context, Cimarron wasn’t a bad choice for Cadillac and sounded like a continuation on a theme of successful names and models. However, when this moniker was slapped on a tarted-up Chevy Cavalier, it spelled death by association.Number 8
Daihatsu Charade
In Pink Floyd’s “Pigs (Three Different Ones)” on Animals, the recurring lyric “Ha ha charade you are” is sung not in a complimentary way, but derisively. Come to think of it, the word has never remotely meant anything positive -- and that includes the degrading party game.
Number 7
Oldsmobile Intrigue
Ever thought of owning the same boring car you rented on a boring business trip? Yeah, very "intriguing." From 1998 through 2002, this front-drive, mid-size sedan belied its exceptionally optimistic name by placing function well above form. You had to really squint to see any similarity between it and the more avant-garde Aurora.
Number 6
AM General Hummer
Before Hummer was a brand of GM, it was the model designation of what would later become known as the H1. AM General gave birth to our No. 6 model when it was first known in military trim as the HMMWV (High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle), or Humvee.
Number 5
Dodge Dart Swinger
If you are one, this is the wrong car to advertise your proclivities. The modestly sized Dodge Dart was not a car for a proud man (though a few in the late '60s were fitted with hot V8s). They were drab slabs that qualified as transportation, and little else.
Number 4
Renault LeCar
Yes, we’re ignorant Americans who used to call the automaker “Ree-nawlt.” But thanks to decades of Pepé Le Pew cartoon reruns and the occasional Gérard Depardieu film.
Number 3
Ford Probe
After it was leaked that Ford was mulling this as either the next Mustang or its outright replacement, pony car fans kicked up a stink. Ford spared the ‘Stang but whipped out their Probe anyway, to more than a few snickers.
Number 2
Chevrolet Citation
One of the ‘80s most crap-tacular cars, the Chevrolet Citation is presumably named after what you receive from the style police for driving one. Mind you, it didn’t have to be that way. The 1980 debut model introduced front-wheel drive to the division’s faithful, and greater efficiency than most other Chevys of the day.
Number 1
AMC Gremlin
Giving this car a name synonymous with problems is one of the strongest instances of truth in advertising -- or is it? Compared to domestic competition like the Chevy Vega, the Gremlin didn’t rust while still on the assembly line. Unlike the Ford Pinto, the Gremlin didn’t blow up when you nudged its rear bumper.
