Nissan Armada is fairly ridiculous.

Ford Aspire, someday, maybe it will be a car.
Mazda Tribute... to a real automobile.
Durango, Colorado, Aztec, those are locations. Cars should be mobile.
Apologies if any repeats. I skimmed quickly.

The sound the name TT makes can translate to the word for your wee willy in Tagalog:

Scion xD. View the model name sideways, and it's an emoticon.
Mazda Protegé MP3. I doubt that name will age well, but thank goodness Mazda had the judgement to not call it the Mazda Protegé WMA, or the Mazda Protegé au. The car really kicks the llama's ass.

I prefer to put "under the sheets" after it.
Ram - an incredibly stupid animal that crashes head first into any rivals.
Sprinter - a lumbering behemoth named after something lithe and quick.
Any Chrysler minivan with "Sport" on it.
Honda Fit - I had a Fit and I loved it!
Ram ProMaster. Sounds like a friggin' fishing rod.

This used to be Dodge Ram.
What do you want to do?
Dodge?
Ram?
Make up your mind!

That's an adequate description for many of the owners as well.
I find all of the domestic 3/4 and 1 ton diesel engine names amusing as well.
Cummins - I don't think I need to explain the humor here.
Power Stroke - And what exactly are you stroking?
Duramax - Sounds like a performance enhancer that would advertise in the back of Motor Trend for men who may be a little bit "too eager" in the bedroom
Sure does give the owners great fodder for t shirts and windshield banners, though. ("I'd rather be Cummin than Strokin", "I'd rather be Stroked than Rammed", ect)

"If you can't Dodge it, Ram it!"
Dodge Le Femme, an effort to entice women buyers. Matching luggage AND a purse that slips into the back of the front seats.

Well, yes, in the same way that Edsel is American English for marketing failure.

You mean like the Ford Explorer, and the conquered-automaker badge engineered version Mazda Navajo?
Along those lines, the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute. One means to get away from oppressive forces, the other means to give your stuff to oppressive focres.
I think someone with a twisted sense of humor was in Mazda's naming department. I do wonder what they would have called a badge engineered Mustang.
