What about DONKERVOORT....a breed of donkeys I guesslol:

the worse and most awfull name for a car company sassanyong ( i meant have spelled it wrong) its korean and they try to copy the cars made by mercedes....

It was the Premier President.
The Premier President was produced in only one year: 1973.

The 1972 model was a Fiat 1100D and the 1974 model was a Padmini.

AFAIK, the only distinguishing characteristics of the Premier President, were
a very peculiar stamped aluminium radiator grille (now a collectors item)
and
the Yenkay instrument cluster which changed in 1973 and again in 1974.

I remember a Premier advertisement, proudly announcing that the Padmini has new "jewellery", a new instrument cluster!!!

The Padmini had 22-gauge steel, way thinner and cheaper than the 18-gauge sheet metal of the Fiat 1100D.

On the streets and highways of Tokyo and Yokohama, I saw familiar-looking Japanese cars with unfamiliar English names.

Wonderful post, and great link to the Japan page. Reminds me of my four childhood years there.

I was just wondering how funny car names one can get if we intermix company name and car name:

For eg.

Maruti Optra

Chevorlet 800

Mahindra and Mahindra CRV

Tata S-Class

Hyundai Ambassadar

Toyota Reva
