Miketow Neutral Newbie July 7, 2006 Share July 7, 2006 Nissan Motor Co said that it would roll out a new family of cars later this year, picking China for the new product launch for the first time. The Livina Geniss is to make its world debut at the International Motor Show Frankly when I first saw the new name Livina Geniss - I also saw - Virgina Peniss I mean which high level Japanese Nissan Exec signed off a silly arsed name like that?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahbengdriver 6th Gear July 7, 2006 Share July 7, 2006 The Japs are typically horrible when u comes to giving english names to cars. By creating these names for models, these models probably only last one cycle. They used to hv the Nissan Sunny VIP....where is the VIP now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissng Neutral Newbie July 7, 2006 Share July 7, 2006 the sylphy sounds like syphilis (did i get the spelling correct???)to me.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miketow Neutral Newbie July 7, 2006 Author Share July 7, 2006 Its hilarious how one of the leading manufacturers of cars in the world can name their cars after genitals and VD - get away with it. I mean, would I buy a Sylphy? Not really, even if I really wanted to, and all my frends will ask me what car i buy - I will be so tempted to say Sylphy - LIS, even if I dont say it, Im pretty sure, everyone will be thinking - Sylphy -LIS. Imagine thinking of VD everytime you think or say what car you drive!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahbengdriver 6th Gear July 7, 2006 Share July 7, 2006 Nissan Latio is a nice car. No offence to Latio owners but I find the name LATIO sounds a bit like the suffix of some word which has a kinky association. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress Clutched July 7, 2006 Share July 7, 2006 Nissan has been a classic for name like this....used to be Bluebird. Oh...a few years ago was in Korea, and there was this Daewoo car 1.0L called "Tico" and the 1.5L one is called "Super Tico"...no way will anyone here buy it.

What do you expect from a company that gave Japan the Bluebird Sylphy (i.e. Lamchiao Syphillis)? Can't say it's a Jap thing. You don't see such bloopers from Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
