Alfa Romeo Disco Volante: It's italian for "flying saucer", but I'm not so sure I agree with this one, as I hated disco during it's thankfully brief heyday, but it is a unique name.
AMC Javelin: didn't last that long but I get the point....
Buick Roadmaster: those cars took up half of the road, but it's a cool name.
Chevrolet Corvette: It's been around since the 50's, but still a good name.
De Tomaso Mangusta: Italian for mongoose or "cobra eater"? Oh yeah, better name than Pantera IMHO
Dodge Magnum: whether you think of Clint Eastwood's pistol or a large sized condom, it's pretty cool.
Dodge Rampage: the vehicle itself seemed wimpy compared to say El Camino or Rancheroo, but at least the name was better.
Dodge Viper: According to R&T whether it's a car or snake, you have to be careful or it'll jump out and kill you.
Eagle Talon: as in sister of the Eclipse. Talon grabs me more than Ecliplse. Just be-claws.
Ferrari Testarossa: Italian for red head. iconic car, especially the first one, name is almost as cool.
Hudson Hornet: Back then there was plenty of buzz about this one..
Jensen Interceptor: name kinda works for british car with a big Chrysler hemi stuffed under the hood.
Lamborghini Countach: the name describes it well....Italian for "oh my!"
Lamborghini Diablo: devilishly accurate description for that car.
Landd Rover Defender: I'd "argue" it's great name for a go-anywhere SUV.
Mercury Marauder: Anything pirate related is cool by definition, but IMHO the latest version FoMoCo built seemed more like a Mafrauder than Marauder.
Mitsubishi Raider: good solid name but shoulda been on a muscle car.
Oldsmobile Cutlass: Cutlass was a sword famous for being used by pirates, a cutting edge name????
Oldsmobile Toronado: The name appeared to evoke thoughts of a tornado, but it was named for a huge heavy tank that most tornado's couldn't move.
Panoz Esperante: elegant Spanish sounding name for a vehicle built in Georgia.
Plymouth Prowler: At first, I thought it was named for Jesda whenever he visits Mandy Moore. But it is a great name
Pontiac Firebird: Certainly a better car name than "well-done poultry" , "Phoenix" or "smoke belching chicken".
Porsche Carrera GT: Carrera is spanish for "race", but I'm not sure it's a great name as Porsche has used it on several different cars.
Rolls-royce Phantom: A cbassic name. But I question it for the same overuse reason as Carrera.
Shelby AC Cobra: Awesome name for a primitive powerful sports car.
Anyone think of other great names?
