To be fair, car names are universally bizarre. (Honda Civic? Jeep Grand Cherokee? Chevy Impala? All weird once you actually start thinking about them.)
But you've got to love the Japanese for creating the Daihatsu Naked.

| Best car name ever |
Loren and I have made a game out of spotting the most ridiculous car names here on the island. After all, where else can you find ...
 |
| The Terios Kid |
 |
| The Daihatsu Move (At least you know what to yell at it when it's moving too slowly) |
 |
| Or the Vamos, if you're feeling bilingual ... |
In Japan, cars with little engines have yellow license plates. It's kind of a warning to other drivers. ("Hey, this car isn't going to accelerate very quickly when it pulls out in front of you. Watch out.")
Most of the oddly-named cars have yellow license plates. Coincidence? I think not.

| The Joy Pop |
 |
| The Suzuki Every |
 |
| Okay, this one's name isn't that weird. But the color reminds me of a Mary Kay dealer's vehicle |
Here's just a smattering of the cars parked at the Commissary this afternoon:
 |
| The Toyota Fun Cargo |
 |
| Having driven behind a Suzuki Swift, I can most assuredly say that it does not live up to its name |
 |
| I've seen a Cube, but never a Cube Cubed before. Also, is that a Hello Kitty Transformers sticker? |
 |
| The Honda Spike |
 |
| Zest! |
 |
| Wit! |
 |
| Boon! |
 |
| Mr Wagon! |
 |
| Wizard! |
Okay, this one doesn't have a bizarre name, but I had to add it because it's my favorite car of all time.
 |
| Someday I will own a Bolero. This is a guarantee. |
And the best car name ever ...
 |
| The ladies love the Scrum |
From where did they get these names, anyway? LOL! It's really hilarious, Dominic, especially the ""Daihatsu Move"" – who knows, it might be the next one to be popularized by the singer of the popular groovy song, "Gangnam Style". LOL! Actually, it's more of like a Naruto technique. LOL!

It's Boba Fett with a Hello Kitty.
