It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown

Here's an oldie. A Daihatsu Scat.

I believe it was also sold as the Toyota Lizzard, and was the precursor to the Rocky.

<edit> Here's a funny one. Holden Commodore Supercharged V6, wow a big 171kw there!

Weren't NA XR6 (VCT) models more powerful??

Read the post again.

He wasn't having a go at you, he was saying that that migt be the reason, but wasn't sure. He wasn't calling you silly, he was saying that the name was silly if Kompressor wasn't German for Supercharger. He was agreeing with you...

But 10KW isnt a big difference.

Smart ForTwo (2 door)
Smart ForFour (4 door)
Smart ForMore (4wd)
Toyota Kluger (Clueless)
Hyundai Sante Fe (Commonly used as speed cameras so Santa can bring you a speeding ticket for Christmas)
Ford KA (pronounced car, saying I drive a Ford car doesn't explain a lot)
Suzuki Ignus / Holden Cruze (Same car, both dodgy names)
Hyundai S-coupe (Scoop it up and throw it away)
Nissan/Datsun Sunny (No explanation needed)
Toyota Echo (Self explanatory)
Daihatsu Applause (I wouldn't clap and cheer for this POS)
Daihatsu Terios (Terrier - The 1m wide 4wd sounds like a dog)

I know a lot of these have already been mentioned but they are certainly dodgy names
