Earlier today, I posted a CC Capsule of one of all time favorite vehicle names, Lincoln Zephyr, which got an all-too-short one year revival in 2006.
What other automotive names do you think is ripe for a comeback?
My vote: Acura Legend.
QOTD: Which Automotive Name is Most Deserving of a Comeback
– Posted on February 21, 2017
Armstrong Siddeley, the best name in history.
Ironic, the same time that Lincoln was changing the Zephyr to MKZ, Ford was changing the 500 to Taurus. Nothing like (in)consistency!
I always thought that the Chrysler 200 should have been named the Newport, but since Chrysler has axed it, it is just as well.
Seems like few want the forgettable alphabet soup letter/number combinations and would rather have a real name. It worked OK for BMW and Mercedes and other European cars, not so much when American cars came up with weird obscure combinations.
I too would like to see some of the old classic American names to come back, but with todays generic styling it probably would really be kind of pointless.
900 and Defender, but do it properly!
