Auto companies stick some truly abysmal names on their cars. Touareg. Yaris. Patriot. Armada. And it only gets worse from there. But which company, overall, has the worst names in their lineup?<\/p>\n<p>My initial thought was VW. Besides Touareg, you&#8217;ve got Routan, Tiguan, Passat, then Golf, Polo, Jetta, Eos, and New Beetle. Jetta is the only respectable name in the range. The SUV lineup sounds like a Klingon gagging on a muskrat. Yes, I&#8217;m aware that Touareg refers to a nomadic tribe from North Africa, but that only makes it worse. Golf and Polo? Because those are two sports that epitomize speed, agility, and fun. Eos? There&#8217;s nothing to love about that car. New Beetle? It hasn&#8217;t been new in a decade.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t even gotten to Hyundai or Kia&#8217;s naming schemes.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
