Take a guess, Name suggestions for some popular cars

[WildCat]

Wife was at the doctors today and I was reading an older consumer reports

In it there were 5 names that were possible names for some very popular cars

See if you can guess the correct answers

A. Lafayette. 1. Ford Edsel
B. Panda. 2. Dodge Dart
C. Pegasus. 3. Plymouth Barracuda
D. Utopian Turtle. 4. Pontiac Fiero
E. Zipp. 5. Ford Mustang


These 5 names (A-E, purposes name )went with the 5 cars listed (1-5 actual name when put into production)

they are not A1 B2

Guess which name could have been with the car

Sure glad they didn't use them

I don't know, here's my guess.....

A=3
B=4
C=5
D=1
E=2


I love "Utopian Turtle" lol.....

 

[WildCat]

Only one guess?

Well you got one right

Instead of Utopian turtle ford choose Edsel

So, what was our beloved A Bodies possible names?

 

[69Valiant4spd]

a = 2
b = 5
c = 3
d = 1
e = 4

 

[WildCat]

a = 2
b = 5
c = 3
d = 1
e = 4

Buzz

Just the repeat from Frankie correct

There is 1 that kind of have the same direction when comparing the purposed and actual name

Anyone else want to guess.

I couldn't believe it when I read this

 

[WildCat]

Was hoping more people would take a guess

Ford Lafayette doesn't quite have the same ring as Mustang

And who wouldn't want to drive a Plymouth Panda over a Barracuda

How about a Pontiac Pegasus

And the Ford Utopian Turtle over an Edsal

And the Dodge Zipp instead of a Dart

So the correct answers

A-5
B-3
C-4
D-1
E-2

Nothing like driving a Hemi bear, would white with black vinyl top be the color of choice?

And would the theme for the Zipp be zippity do da zippity day my oh my what a cool little name

And the Lafayette could be the new Boilermaker mascot in black with gold interior

I doubt the name change would have been a deal breaker instead of the Edsal

Pegasus or Fiero, either way it wouldn't have made it long.

Well that is my trivia for now.

I like Ice Cream !

To me none of those names make any sense. By brain hurts.
