Whats In A Name? Theres So Much In A Name Car And Country
Whats in a name?
Theres so much in a name.
A Car with a nice name is so important and only America understands that. They are so imaginative. Italian names are tongue twisters except the romantic Alpha Romeo.
Mercedes is most unimaginative with silly initials or digits that differentiate one model from the other. They are all Mercedes but 200 220 230 270 350 500 etc or SL SEL SLC or C class or E class utterly meaningless.
Most world famous cars wear the surname of their inventors like Harry Ford or Mr. Toyota or Ferdinand Porsche or Henry Rolls and Charles Royce.
Now lets get into America. The names of their cars are like poetry in motion.
Starting with the Chevrolet range Bel Air Mercury Monte Carlo Impala Biscane Malibu Camaro Corvette Caprice.
Ford Thunder bird Mustang Granada
Cadillac Fleetwood De Ville Seville Brougham Eldorado.
Chrysler New Yorker Le Baron New Port Cordoba Town and Country.
Pontiac Firebird Phoenix Grand Le Marc Catalina Bonneville.
Stutz Bearcat Black Hawk Royale.
Even BMW again like Mercedes is just initials and digits.
English car names have some resonance in them like Triumph Jaguar Austin and Morris are such insipid names again.
Buick has beautiful names like Buick Wildcat Sky hawk Skylark Buick Century Buick Regal Le Saber Electra Rivera.
The poor little Maruti sounds like chappati. Doesnt it.
Car and Country
Once you are familiar with the tell tale hints you can immediately guess where a car is made in.
Peoples mannerism taste standard of living standard of expectations degree of dignity generosity methods imagination moods and temperament all get fused into the automobile they manufacture.
British Cars
They will be dignified looking and always wear a serious look. The interior will be very neat but not loud or overly luscious the colours very bland. The very high league cars like the Rolls Royce Jaguar Aston Martin Bentley Ackley Daimler and Panther all have a heavy look stately but unfriendly looking. Almost as if each times you have to seek permission of the car before riding in it. So what if you are the owner. Even the Range Rover is a jumbo of an SUV.
Then there are the strings of cars for commoners like Austin Vauschall Ford Triumph Morris Talbot MG which are completely utilitarian with no fuss or frills. No splurge on chrome or velvet.
The cars are like their countrymen. Just as English men are. Very reserved and aloof but grace personified once you know them.
Italian Cars
Silky sleek lines but no bulk whatsoever as if they are on a permanent diet. Roary and aggressive by volume and nature. They are shrewd movers and signal breakers like the men of Italy. Now you see them now you dont. Interestingly Italy doesnt make a single luxury car or limousine. They are all cramped with abnormal output of power. The fastest and most agile cars. Italians have no use for the rear view mirror because they are just not interested in whats going on behind. Very few family cars like FIAT Larcia and GIANMNI. The rest are all speed monsters Ferrari Maserati Alfa Romeo all with a motto win or die nothing in between.
German Cars
Strong robust long lasting but even the fanciest names dont provide you with very pampering luxury. As they are a hard working lot and dont like to laze around. Not much stress on shape either. The Volkswagen Beattle and Porsche Carrere look like the designer was an amphibian lover. BMWs are very boxy and Mercedes except some of the older ones are very mundane looking grumpy but efficient. Audi also has nothing distinctive except the Olympics like logo. Opel? listless. The cars look like they have had their porridge and oatmeal regularly.
Japanese Cars
These are like their softspoken gentle manufacturers. Silent most controls operate by finger play. The seats are soft like their skins. Toy like and some dolllike like their women. The cars are not buxom just delicate and elegant. There are little tweeters and musical alarms in doors gears just as they keep humming with their walkmans. The dickey pert like their ladies have.
Russian Cars
Most frugal utilitarian like most of the poor people there who believe lets cut through life without making a song and dance of it.
Indian Cars
Hospitable like Indians all doors swing open wide and you can load in as many people. The Ambassadors of yore used to look like overweight North Indian women with big bosoms and large backside and used to wobble like them too. The standard Herald inspired by Triumph was short like the average Indian. Maruti has the typical Indian attitude Ghar chota hai toa kya hua dil toe achha hai.
American Cars
Ooh la la la my absolute favourite. Versatile like the USA. Lavish like their pent houses. Out candish colours beefy bumpers like their burgers. Forget about the country the car itself is a land of plenty. Beautiful dashboards lots of legroom lots of booth space. Large sofa like seats which sink you in and are your cradle of luxury while you commute.
