Dacia Duster - Is there a worse named car available?

pinkteapot

Just had an email from Which that mentioned the Dacia Duster.

Seriously? "I drive a 320." "I drive a Fiesta." "I drive a Duster". That'd be a tumbleweed moment in the pub, surely.

Roomster is worse IMO

The Vauxhall Adam.... Possibly even worse is the Adam Jam, the Adam Glam or the Adam Slam

The Kia Pro Ceed annoys me (name-wise).

I also fail to understand why Audi think the word "Sportback" means "5 door". Have to explain to people that our A1 Sportback is just the 5 door version, not some sports trim version.

EDIT: Have just looked online and see that the Vauxhall Adam is a current line (assumed it was some comedy name from the 80s). What were they thinking?!

This gets my vote every time - it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.

Just hearing the name brings visions of a man in a white coat holder a small, metal, cylindrical... ahem, probe, and makes me chuckle (but not in a good way).
