The New York International Automobile Show is going on right now, and nearly every major car maker is there with prototypes in tow. While many of the cars are technological wonders, some are either ugly or haven't yet been blessed with attention from the marketing/naming department. Here are a few of the more suspect vehicles:
The Ford Fairlane concept SUV. Didn't we call "suicide doors" that for a reason?
The Ford SYNus. Yeah, I need one of these like a need a hole in my head. Ba-dum-dum. But seriously, this does look nice if you want your car to match your toaster oven.
The GMC Sequel. Everyone knows that sequels suck, and this one seems to have been inspired by an industrial air vent.
Mercury MetaOne. Reminds of me of a helmet of a Power Ranger or Stormtrooper. Is "MetaOne" supposed to mean something?
This is the risk you take when you let engineers name things and marketers design them.
