Dodge Aspen and SAAB Talladega also comes to mind!

At a time, most SEATs were using geographic terms: Toleda, Marbella, Leon, Ibiza, Alhambra, Malaga, Arosa.

Looking forward to part two. Oxford Cambridge Capri Most Seats

Seat, the Spanish subsidiary of Vw, used Spanish cities as names of their cars: Marbella, Arosa,Ibiza,Cordoba, Malaga, Alhambra, Leon, Toledo..They are proud of their country and they know how to show it!

Lacrosse is one of Canada's official sports though. Renaming it was one of those bizarre corporate decisions

Honorable mentions! Chevy Monte Carlo Buick Park Avenue Cadillac Seville Dodge Daytona Triumph Toledo

Thank you for this nice idea 🎉👍 Spanish Brand SEAT has used the name „Cordoba“ for a Subcompact Sedan, almost forgotten even in Europe . The Ford Cortina was sold in Germany as the Ford „Taunus“ Taunus is the name of a hilly area, next to Rhine-Main-Airbase and Rammstein Airbase.

The '68 Pontiac LeMans was designed by Anatole Lapine, a Latvian immigrant to the United States. He later left GM and went to work for Porsche, where he designed the 924 and 928. If you look at a 928 carefully, you will see a tiny amount of '68 LeMans in the design, especially at the rear.

Technically, Mulsanne is the corner at the end of the the Hunaudières Straight, but, a lot of English speakers call it the Mulsanne Straight

Here's some other good ones: Kia Sedona, Alfa Romeo Montreal, Mercury(Ford) Capri and Monterey, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Malibu, and Bel Air.

I would like to add the Chevrolet Corsica to this list. It was named after Corsica Island in France.

Corinthian leather does mean something. It means vinyl made in New Jersey!!! 🤣🤣

There is also the Ford Granada both the European and US versions.

9:36 - that grille was an homage to Subaru's aircraft background. It's a head-on look at a plane. The middle is a fuselage, and the shapes to each side are wings.

Chevy Malibu, Alfa Romeo Milano - since I have. Great video as always!

20 - thought about Alfa Romeo Milano (75 in Europe) at first, forgot about Mercury Milan, actually never saw it here, in Ukraine. Thanks for the video! Didn't know that Montego named after city in Jamaica or that Camry/Corolla means "crown" in different languages for example.

Tis' but a flesh wound.... LOVED that clip 🤣

i always prefer cars that named after a place instead of a bunch of random numbers and letters, it felt more memorable

Dodge Durango, as in Durango Colorado, Pontiac Aztek as Aztek New Mexico,Toyota Tacoma as in Tacoma Washington those come to mind

Another obscure one is the Austin Kimberley. Obscure even to UK Austin fans and even in Australia where it came from. Named after a remote Australian region where gold and diamond discoveries were in the news in the early seventies when the short lived car was launched. One of the few front wheel drive cars with a transverse straight six. To satisfy Australia's preference for straight sixes.

Enjoyed watching this and playing along waaay too much!!! Great idea/concept. Especially enjoyed the Schoolhouse Rock reference. 😂 Looking forward to part two. 😊

Keep these well done quizzes coming!

I really liked this quiz format. Of course the normal episodes are good. But definitely would love to see another one.

This was an interesting spin on a cool topic. Well done, Pat.

I knew most of these as a car fan there are some famous ones missing Cadillac Seville Oldsmobile Aurora Lincoln Versailles Lincoln/Mercury Capri also a Ford in UK and Australia

The Chrysler Cordoba was one of the cars I right away thought of at the very beginning of the video. A Pontiac that a lot of people probably aren't familiar with that was named after a place in the Western US is the Phoenix.

Missed the Alfa Romeo Montreal, how many different Daytonas? Aspen. Many interesting cars.

original idea! This was awesome!

Seeing these old car ads are honestly the best part .+ the lesson ❤

Thanks for doing this, it was fun.

Pleased to say i got the Cortina just from the bob sled intro. Sold well in Australia helped by the Cortina GT versiond winning the 1963, 64 and 65 Bathurst 500 mile race , even up against Studebaker V8 and much more poweful six cylinder cars. Also got the Monaco and Bonneville from the intro.

Whereas Australians, despite being pretty good at geography as a rule, will have had little idea of many of these. I got the Fairmont (AU), Le Mans, Montego, Monaco & Bentley Mulsanne right.

Wow! Excellent video. 👍

I like the theme of this video. Keep the content coming!

Besides Cortina there are other ski resort names like Aspen, Telluride, or Arosa (this shared name with Arosa/Arousa Island in Galicia)...

2:58 I absolutely love the New Yorker / LHS, looking forward to possibly getting one.

Very cool video idea. I wasn't sure about it at first. But I quickly got into it and enjoyed guessing. I didn't get a perfect score. But I did better than I thought I would.

Cool video, and what a great idea!

This was GREAT!

This was really interesting. Thanks.

That was fun, and I enjoyed that clip from "Schoolhouse Rock!" Some others that come to mind are the Pontiac Phoenix, although I suspect it was named after the mythical creature, the Plymouth Sapporo and the Pontiac Ventura.

Good video. Perfect test for early onset dementia!

Car colors would be fun too! There were some great racing names

The 78 Ford Fairmont with the 302 (5.0L) V8 was a fast car. It also had an in-line 6cyl and a 2.3L 4cyl engine’s.

My 1988 Bonneville SSE was by far my favorite car i have ever owned. The GM 3800 engine was a dream

Credit to you, ( I know doing stuff like that is time consuming, but worth the results) very good mix of global cars, time periods & dare I say it was educational. Shocked I got 17, looking forward to your next one.

Confusedly, I laughed aloud at Joe Montana as the spokesman for “masculine itch powder”. Only to quickly realize the connection. Well played Sir, well played.

Lonsdale-A short lived car marque in the UK. Australian built Mitsubishi Sigmas were sold under this name to get around import quotas. Named after the suburb which was home to the Mitsubishi engine factory.

We had in 90's Europe a GM vehicle using the name of a historic Portuguese city. Based on the last gen Pontiac Transport, it was the Opel Sintra.

I hope you can do a part 2 as I can give you some suggestions from OZ . Tasman, Kimberley and Tarago which is a town in NSW Australia by Toyota.

Love this. It's like a pub quiz, but with My Old Car. Wish my old 1997 Neon was named after someplace cool, not a noble gas.

Thank you for a fun video. That was quite interesting especially with the footage. What was interesting what you said about sedans falling out of favor suvs and crossovers. It is true. The other thing you said that was interesting was the fact they do not use names that mean something and use letters and numbers that are not good at all.

Rolls Royce is owned by BMW 😉 Great video!

For 12 at 7:15 , I was thinking the Triumph Mayflower glossing over that you wanted a brand. As a kid seeing old ones still being driven, i thought they looked like a mini Rolls Royce.

Where did you get that awesome aerial footage of the Piazza del Duomo in Milan? In my experience, the place always has more pigeons than it does air molecules so it was fascinating to see what it is really meant to look like.

Making an ambulance out of a Yugo seems like a very bad idea. No matter what your ailment, you could walk to the hospital faster.

Milan actually had two cars by two manufacturers, Alfa Romeo Milano and Mercury Milan.

Here in Canada we had the Pontiac Montana right until the end.

Wow, great job giving us a automotive history lesson who knew well all those car names, me and pronounced 🥴💯

Monza was also the most popular Chevrolet Corvair. Got all of these except the Jarama, (even the Florida!) mostly due to your excellent hints.

Great video, but I was a bit surprised that the Chevrolet Monte Carlo wasn’t in this one. Like you said, maybe the next one in the “location” series

True and excellent 👌 video Good work 👍🎉❤

Speaking of Bentley and Le Mans, there's also the Arnage, another car named after one of the circuit's sections. I expect Ferrari California to be featured on part 2 because the car's not produced anymore. And maybe something more popular like Chevy Bel Air, Dodge Aspen, Buick Riviera, Ford Torino Talladega, Dodge Daytona, Bentley Brooklands and Dodge Dakota.

In Brazil we had our version of the GM J-Body car also called Chevrolet Monza. It was produced from 1982 until 1996 and it was a copy of Opel Ascona C (another car named after a place). GM didn't use this name in Brazil because it remembers the word "Asco", which means "disgust" in Portuguese.

Even just limited to US cities and states there are dozens named after them

You should do a video about car names based on animals

Very interesting, Here are a few you could use if you do a part two. Chrysler Newport, Saratoga. Chevrolet Belair. Ford Fairlane, Delrio. Mercury Monterey, Montclair, Parklane. Studebaker Deltona. Edsel Bermuda. Lincoln Capri.

Oh man, when I was in elementary school, my science teacher had a really nice looking and sporty Chevy Monza hatchback. Which made me want to buy one when I was old enough. Sadly, I never did.

That Cordoba looks like a Monte Carlo. I thought for sure you'd mention Monte Carlo and when you were talking about the Avalon, I thought you were going to say Catalina. And when you were talking about the Biscayne, I thought you'd say Daytona, though the Bay part took it out the running. And instead of 5th Avenue, I thought you were going to say Park Avenue. Would Fairlane have qualified, since that was Henry Ford's estate? You could have easily done this as models in the US, only.

17:35 US changed the way they rated horsepower in 1974. So it seemed like horsepower was down in many cars, while they often had the same or more power.

Awe darn I was so excited looking st the thumbnail. I thought this was gonna be a video on the Montana 😭

My mom had a Chrysler Cordoba well into late 2000’s. She made the Montalbán leather comment every time I saw it 😂 It was fun to dive I gotta say, it’d pass anything on the highway like it was upset it was behind another car…

flawless video

I showed this to my kids, (14 yr & 12 yr) they had a blast throwing names out there. Was shocked they number 16....

Saturn and Mercury 😃

In Germany, the Cortina Mk III/IV/V was sold as another long-standing toponym, the Taunus, a mountain range NW of Frankfurt.

Don't forget the Seat Cordoba, a sedan version of the Seat Ibiza from the Mid 90s to early 2000's.

Pontiac Parisienne... Wish you could do a video on it .

Number 20: also the Alfa Romeo Milano (named 75 in Europe). Number 16: the Gran Prix of Monaco is better known as Gran Prix of Montecarlo. Monaco is also the name of a city in Germany (BMW has its home in Monaco). Number 2. Alfa Romeo was born in Milano, and for many years his principal home was in Arese (a little city near Milano), and a subsidiary home in Pomigliano d'Arco (near Napoli). Torino is out of games with Alfa Romeo.

Interesting that the US perception of the Pontiac LeMans is that it’s Korean. Its a European Astra/Kadett so very much a GM product through and through, not Korean. Also, in the UK we bizarrely got the Vauxhall Royale and Opel Monza competing against each other

Actually, the Biscayne was discontinued after 1971. The Bel Air took its place and that car remained until 1975.

There is an Avalon in New Jersey.

The Monte Carlo, the Monaco, the Malibu, the list goes on the floor, down the corr, and out the door…

I got 15/20, I really enjoyed this. It was fun❤

I'm hoping for the Sienna on list!

My favorites are the Montego & Torino of the ones that come to mind...oh & Daytona & Talladega, let's see if they make the list...

9:05 the 80's Pontiac LeMans i think had a cousin car from Opel/Vauxhall

What still came to my mind when mentioninv the Dodge Monaco is the Chevrolet Monte Carlo. And of cours Seat with naming its products after all the Spanish islands and citys. And the Ferrari 360 Modena, Alfa Romeo Montreal, Cadillac Calais, Chevy Bel Air, Opel Ascona, Renault Floride, Chrysler Aspen, Lincoln Versailles and I think many, many more…

Can you do a video on the Nissan sx cars?

Holden Calais from 1984-2017

Theres an spanish brand (own by VW and sold in most places but the US) called Seat that all of theyre cars are named as of spanish cities (Arona, Ibiza, Ateca...)

Honorable mentions , Ventura & Malibu, durango

I'm surprised on the last clip, you didn't include the point where "Elwood" states "The new Oldsmobiles are in early" 😀 Oldsmobile is, of course, another extinct American brand. I guessed maybe half of these, and there were a few I didn't know were named after a place.

When you came to the Ford Cortina all I could think of was Opel Ascona, only Ascona is in Switzerland. SAAB made the 96 Monte Carlo in the early sixties. The Toyota was a tough one, in Europe it is a Camry.

this limey enjoyed this

What about the Dodge Daytona, the Pontiac brand, Pontiac Catalina, Ford Galaxy, Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

I was thinking about Chevy Monte Carlo the whole video.

Lancia Monte Carlo.

Bel air is in Maryland.
