Top 10 best car names of all time
Mustang - The name is a perfect tag for the car that launched the pony-car era. What better image could there be for a trend-setting sports car than an unbroken horse? The name makes you think of adventure, wide open spaces and wild spirit. As a bonus, there is a clear association with the P-51 Mustang, the coolest fighter plane of World War II. The Mustang name has lived for more than 45 years. Although the car has gone through various iterations, some great, some terrible, the Mustang’s name has never lost its magic.

The worst car names ever
<B>Studebaker Dictator</b> - Studebaker thought the name would let the world know that its car dictated the standard for its automotive class. Instead, the term conjures up the invasion of Poland and goose-stepping SS legions parading in front of Hitler on a Munich balcony. In fairness to Studebaker, it must be pointed out that the Fuhrer was a relative unknown when the Dictator was released in 1927. To North Americans of the time, the term dictator was associated primarily with Italian leader Benito Mussolini, whose image had not yet curdled from trains-on-time strongman into fascist tyrant. Studebaker killed off the Dictator in 1937 after Hitler’s rise to power (the human Hitler would live for another eight years.) To Studebaker insiders, the Dictator name had a logic to it: the company’s pre-war vehicle lineup included the Commander, the President and the Chancellor. But the Dictator was a title too far.
