    LaCrosse in French Canadian is slang for whackin' it, or so media outlets report.

    To me, it's a sport (in a field with a ball and sticks and nets in a completely heterosexual manner).

    I concur. At least you get to join the Gumpert Owners Club and get a Gumpert cap and t-shirt.

    Didn't the C3 vette advertise "Crossfire Injection"?
     
  5. 82 & 84 Corvette had that system.

    The chrysler Sebring is pretty bad. Why name a cruddy family sedan after a racetrack?

    The chevy citation is pretty bad, too. Naming a car after what you get for speeding, not good marketing.

    I think they could've been a little more creative when naming the Maserati Coupe. The later models were called GranSports, but the Coupe just doesn't sound very exciting..

    The Midget is not a bad name for a tiny car. It was a RWD convertible Mini.

    The "Midget" is actually an historic name for an early MG open wheel racer, IIRC. I won't defend the crappy little '70s roadster, but the name has heritage.

    You are probably thinking of the Chrsylser LeBarron...
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Chrysler-LeBaron-sedan.jpg

    Not to be confused with the Pontiac LeMans. Pontiac had a habit of giving cars raced themed names, Bonneville, LeMans, GrandAm, Grand Prix, TransAm, etc.

    Like many other Pontiacs, the LeMans started out ok...

    ...but over time degraded somewhat seriously...

    "Camry" in Thai means oval female genitalia

    "Audi" in Thai may mean "has sex well", which I guess is a good name to have...
