Carbon82 Moderator March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 (edited) Over the years, we have come across some funny or rather, "bad" model name. Let me start by sharing a few. Nissan Sway Although it look quite nice, byt I don't think it will do well in area with lot of Chinese, as nobody want to be Sway (down on luck)...

Kxbc Turbocharged March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 My all time favourite which until today never fails to put a smile to my face is the Nissan Bluebird Admittedly it's a hokkien acronym but a rather inappropriate one if ever!!

Spring Moderator March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 I've got one many years back.... at that time friends asked me what i drive... lum chiao lah... Years back, friend who had this car wanted to give a lift to some lady colleagues after an office function and innocently said "I'll give you ladies a ride in my Bluebird"! The girls didn't know how to react and luckily a quick thinking guy colleague responded that Bluebird was actually the model of that guy's car and a potential embarrassing situation was averted lol!! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mz3SP0907 3rd Gear March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 Yes, awkward situation it is... but must say that it's quite a comfortable car for both driver and passenger... that's a BLUEBIRD!!!
