Let me know if you prefer something like these or otherwise. There are hundreds of new model been rolled out worldwide by varies auto manufacturers each year, but the naming convention can be very different among manufacturer. Some would goes with fanciful or eye catching name, such as i, Wake, Up!, Naked, Today, Morning, while others choose to stick with names that have past through several generations such as Corolla, Civic, Golf, and different sizes of paper (A1 to A8). And here's the interesting part, not all model are the same as their predecessor (or ancestor). I don't mean the look of course, but it term of characteristic or even class. I will first use the following 2 examples for illustrating my point. Errrrrrr Just want to point out that paper sizes start at A0. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there are rumors of A0, but never get to materialise. The funny thing is that paper get smaller with the increase in number, but it is the reverse for Audi. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I oso wished Kia would do more of the korean plastic surgery thingy. Kia today is light years away from its dodgy past but still stubbornly hanging on to its ugly badge and names like Cerato, Rio, Sorento which were horrid cars when they first came out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is normal that the size will get larger with each new generation, so acceptable to me in general. But @Philipkee favorite Honda City is another extreme, as the original version is a mini city mover (3.38m x 1.57m) while the latest generation has evolved into a mid size sedan (4.55m x 1.75m). 1 hour ago, Picnic06-Biante15 said: Sarted with Hyundai Pony to Excel to Accent ...

I thought of the City too. There is another Honda that went through an extreme makeover through it's generations. The Honda Insight. From a futuristic looking 2-seater, to a Prius-esque 5 door, and the current generation that looks like a Civic.
