Nice car, shame about the name. Will this name rank with the Toyota MR deux ?

I remember the Citroens DS and ID, which when pronounced came out as idea/ideal and goddess.

There was also a French film production company called Ciby2000, which was pronounced as "C B DeMille".

seems rather inappropriate, but then again they wouldn't have known that...

It's only a concept car and will be unlikely to make it to production.

I can't see it selling too many in NI.
Some more non-starters were the Nova in Spain and the Pinto in South Anerica.

It should be decommissioned.

Would a rose smell as sweet by any other name ?

I think people will just get used to the name and not pay much attention to it.

I remember when I first saw a Merc 'Kompressor and thought who would buy a car with a stupid name like that! but many did and it probably sounds great if you are German.

And the seats could tip up when you got out.....

And the bird in the seat next to you could slap your hand as you reached for the glove box.....
