Ironically, it's an FF.

HAHAHA. Heil you are a crack up.. This thread delivers!

The RR Wagon R.. Surely they are the most uninspired design / marketing team around. Wow.

Edit: How on god's earth do they claim those R's on the number plate, as F's? Even if you squint, hanging upside down, they are unmistakably R's?

There is a Toyota Hi-Lux called the 'Action Utility Vehicle' here. It's just a 4x2 ute with an improved interior and some cosmetic remodelling of the exterior.

Toyota could have had lots of wonderfully bad (and possibly appropriate?) car names had they only made their racing program

Toyota
Universal
Racing
Development

Whenever I see TRD I can't help but read it that way.

If you think that Toyota Toyopet is a bad name be grateful that the US dealerships insisted they change it from it's native name. Toyota Toyolet. Apparantly they figured it was too close to sounding like Toilet.

It also sounds like the toilet manufacturer Toto.

Crickey, you must've been bored to make that list!

Funny thing though, I saw the thread title and the first name that popped into my head: AMC Gremlin. Open the thread and there it is, resplendant in all it's repulsively named glory at #1 on the list.

Oooh. Look what I found today.



This one's called...

Maruti/Suzuki DZire

Small, but perfectly formed car, deformed.

Looks like a stretch Suzuki Swift. Ironically, that's not a fast car.
