Cars Named After Unconventional Animals

Car makers love naming their cars after animals. However, every once in a while, a car company will name its son after a more unconventional beast.

On this list, we're going to talk about cars named after Mongolian weasels, cars named after extinct cattle, and even bugs - ugh, eww!

That's indeed the case with certain car models.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en(horse neighing)- Car makers love namingtheir cars after animals.But every once in a while acar company will name its sonafter a more unconventional beast.On this list we're gonna talk about carsnamed after Mongolian weasels,cars named after extinct cattle,and even, ugh, bugs, eww!That's in "The D-List".Datsun Honey Bee.Long before the GTR, the S chassis,and even the original Z cars,Nissan, which used to be called Datsun,produced a dainty, sensible commuter carknown in Japan as the Sunny.In America the third generationSunny was called the B-210because apparentlyB-210 is more marketablethan a word literally usedto describe a nice day.It's really sunny out,it's a nice sunny day.And this little carcouldn't have come to the USat a more perfect time.You know, because of a little thing calledthe oil crisis!Go to DonutMedia.com and getyour new oil crisis shirt.You can bet your sweet sunny bunsthat this boy was a massivesuccess, much like Nolan.It got 50 miles per gallon,it was one of the cheapestcars that you could buyat around $3,000.But what if three large wasstill too pricey for you?Worry not, my dude.Just like Dodge did with the Viper,Datsun strip this sunny down even further.This minimalist special editiondeleted virtually all the features.I'm talking to all of them.Even the carpet.It came in brown, yellow, or white,and most importantlyit had one of the cutest(bleep) decals ever!It was called the Honey Bee.I think that's a perfect namefor this buzzy little boy.Max, where'd you put him?Where is he, down here?This is buzzy little boy.Ooh.(bee buzzing)(smooches) Ow.The western honey bee is ahardworking resourceful creature.It's cute, but deep downit packs a serious sting.Max got stung by onethis weekend in his car.And most of all, you knowyou can depend on a honey beebecause a world without honey beesis hardly a world even fit for humanity.And that is an environmental concernthat you should genuinelybe worried about.Be the change you wantto see in the world.Mercury Sable.Speaking of cute little guys,which I tend to do a lot,Let's move on to the Mercury Sable.The Sable was Mercury's followupto the gargantuan malaisebarge known as the Marquis.One of the only cars named after a sign.It's shared the sameplatform as the Taurusexcept it never came with the SHO package.So basically it's an evenmore grandpa'd up versionof Ford's most grandpa's up car.But unlike the Taurus named afterthe mythological bullthat Zeus took the form ofto win over Europa,the Sable is very little mammalthat inhabits the forests of Russia.These cute AF omnivorous little babiesare about three feet long,and while their colors varydepending on their geographical location,they all have beautiful silky coats.And because of thatthey fetch a prettypenny in the fur trade.People have beenhunting these littlevarmints for centuries.A sable pelt coat wasseen as a status symbol,just like AirPod 2s.And because of that statusold people love them.And you know what else old people love?Mercury.The car, not the liquid metal.They used to think that mercurybaths would cure syphilis.So while the Mercury Sablemight not have much in commonwith its forest dwelling namesake,you can understand why theydecided to name it that.Old people.Porsche Cayman.The P Car Cayman in isa fastback coupe versionof the company's mid engineroadster the Boxster.I'm not gonna lie to you.Doesn't always get thesame respect as the 911but it's cheaperand the engine is technicallyin a better place.Mid engine trumps rear engine.Now the name Boxsteris a portmanteau of boxerit's got a boxer engineand roadster 'cause itain't got no top on it.Great name, makes sense.So surely the Cayman must bean equally clever portmanteauof some sort, right?Well, I'm afraid that's wrong.Dead ass wrong --.Cayman is actually amisspelling of caiman,a member of the alligator familythat inhabits Mexico and South America.Why did Porsche name this fastback coupeafter a scaly South American maneater?I'd like to think it'sbecause the Porsche Caymanhas a lot in common withits reptilian name state.It's an absolute predator on the road.It slips through the streetslike a gator slips through the sewers;undetected, composeduntil it meets its prey.And then it's--(thunder)Also, I would like topoint out that for foreverPorsche didn't name anyof their cars anythingbesides a bunch of numbers.And now they name everythingafter a bunch of wordsthat no one is quite sure how to say.Mah-can, muh-can, I don't know.Cayman, 'kay man.Cayenne, Chayenne.Taycan, toucan, come on, guys.Let's get together.AMC Marlin.Speaking of eating fish (giggling).Speaking of eating fishthis next car is named after a big fish.I'm not talking aboutthe Tim Burton movie.AMC the car company hasn'tbeen around for a long timeand AMC the movie theatercompany doesn't look likethey're gonna be aroundfor much longer either.It might come as a surpriseto some of you, including me,that AMC's flagship vehicleback in the glory dayswas a slick looking fastbackknown as the Marlin.Named after a large fish inthe Istiophoridae family,known for its large dorsalfin and long spear-like snout.Is it a snout, is it a fish beak?Nobody knows.They can't answer.The marlin happens to beone of the quickest fish in the sea,making it a pinnacle ofoff shore game fishing.I lived in Florida(drum roll)for a number of years when I was a child.And I would say nine out of 10 householdshave a marlin hangingin their living room.AMC sold this slippery suckerfor a couple of years in the60s with moderate success.It was roomy, luxurious,but so was the price tag.By the time other luxurypersonal cars entered the marketlike the Charger and the Thunderbird,the Marlin really was a fish out of water.And it went belly up afterabout three years of production.Now even thoughthis misunderstood seacreature had a short lifeit wasn't for naught because decades laterit's designed nuances livedon in the Chrysler Crossfire.Fiat Panda.This next car is named afterone of the most ferocious bearsthat was ever played by Jack Black.And by ferocious I mean for friendly.The panda bear or giant pandais a derpy little fellowthat lives in the mountainranges of Central China.And with a name likegiant you might expect itto tower over its enemies in terror.But I Googled itand these guys are onlylike four feet freaking tallwhich is shorter thanan actual Fiat Panda,and the Fiat Panda isvery, very small car.It debuted in 1980 and was designedby literal design god Giorgetto Giugiaro.We did an episode of the podcast on him.And I've always said it.If it ain't by G.G. it ain't for me.This petite little ladis one of the brands most successful carsdespite never being sold in the US.It's a compact city carmeant to be cheap, reliable,and robustly simple.In the 40 years that it's been aroundFiat has sold about 8 million Pandas.And in case you were wondering,the latest census on giant pandasfound less than 2000 alive in the world.But those numbers are slowly going upand the Panda has officiallybeen knocked off off of theendangered species list.Congratulations dudes.But that doesn't change the factthat they are not giant at all.So I've started a petitionto rename the giant pandathe regular panda.Triumph Stag.Visit a car show in Americaand you're gonna see aMustang, guarantee it.Go to a car show in Japanyou're gonna see a couple of Skylines.Ain't no question about it.Go to a car show in the UKand you can bet your bottom knickersthat you're gonna see a Triumph Stag.This V8 powered four-seater convertiblewas a competitor for the Mercedes SL,and I'd be lying through myperfectly imperfect teethif I told you it wasn't plaguedwith severe, severe mechanical issues.The V8 was actually a twin versionof their preexisting inline four.And after nearly five yearsof developing this V8,Triumph couldn't figure outhow to reliably use fuel injection.So they resorted to carburetors instead.But the carbs didn'tmake enough power, baby.So they widened the cylinderbores to get more displacement.Great idea, good job.Except the wider cylindersmade less room for coolant passageway.So basically what I'm sayingis they're inefficientand extremely, extremelyprone to overheatingand there's almost nothingyou can do about it.Just like my uncle Douglas"Lazy Mad" Pumphrey.But when they're not brokenthese things are honestly pretty sick.It's just a classic looking convertible.I mean, Sean "Puffy" Connery drove onein "Diamonds Are Forever"and he only drives the good cars.Anyway, a stag is an adult male deer.It's also slang for a single guy.And Stagg brand canned chiliis the most depressingname of a product ever.They might as well callit Lonely Man Goop Food.Moving on.Lamborghine Urus.The Lamborghine Machine Urusis probably the bestSUV that money can buy.And I do not say that lightly.I love SUVs.This boy's got 640 horsepower V8and it kicks to 60 miles perhour in just 3.6 seconds.That's insane when you considerthat it weighs 5,000 pounds.That's as much as a full small dumpster.Let me tell you,a luxury SUV from Lamborghineis exactly as nice as you would expect.Endlessly supple leather,exquisitely accented trim,and of course a fighterjet style (bleep) pitbecause at the end of the dayit's a gosh darn Lamborghine machine!But it wouldn't be a glorious SUVwithout a glorious SUV name.And that's why they called it the Urus.So it turns out, we talkedabout it a couple of times,the folks over at Lamborghineare pretty freaking obsessed with bullsin a very, very weird way.So they decided to namethis legendary family wagonafter one of the best bulls of all time.The Urus is an extinctspecies of wild cattle.And let me tell you guysthese boys were buff.You know how cows today are pretty big?Well, the urus was nearly twice the sizeclocking in over 3,000 pounds!And they were also fast and aggressive,earning a place as one ofthe most legendary beaststo ever roam Europe or Asia.And I've been to Europe.I think it's a fitting namefor Lamborghine's huge chiseled SUV.And if you want to learnmore about other fast SUVs,make sure you're subscribedbecause next weekI'm gonna be talking aboutall the fastest that SUVs ever made.TVR Vixen.TVR,or Trev Car, that's honestly what,they're named after a guy named Trevor,is a British company known fortheir luda-ridiculouslimited run sports cars.These guys are literal mad scientistswhen it comes to making cars.Their formula is pretty simple.Lightweight body, bighonking engine, bonkers name.From the Cerbera to the Chimera,TVR is pretty obsessed withdeadly mythical creatures.But many moons ago in the 1960sbefore they were naming carsafter fire-breathing lion goats,TVR made a quaint littlecar called the Vixen.A vixen is a female fox.The more you know.American car companies at the timewere focused on massiveluxury land yachts,but across the pond in Angland Town,TVR was doing the exact opposite.This quick little lady foxhad a minuscule fiberglass bodymounted on a tube frame chassis.It only put out around100 horsepower, sure,but just like a fox it'snot about sheer power.It's about being nimble.And nimble it 'twas.Tipping the scales at 1,624 pounds.That's less than an empty, tiny dumpster.The coolest partwas that TVR sent you thecar completely disassembled.That's not the coolest part,that sucks (chuckling).Oh yeah, I'll just do all the work.It's like the car Ikea.You want to get in a fightwith your significant other?Try and put a TVR Vixen together.Thanks, Trevor.Volkswagen TiguanCapping off this listis a car that really hitsclose to home for me.Partially because it's my daily driverand it's literally parkedright in front of my home right now.I can...(bell dings)But alsobecause it has the best nameout of any car on this listand also of all time.And out of all the cars I've ownedit's honestly the bestdaily I've ever had.It's just a big old fatGolf and I love it so much.When VW debuted this crossover in 2007they held a contest to let the public voteon what it should be called.Which is risky.Just ask David Attenboroughand Boaty McBoatFace.Other names on the Tiguan ballotincluded Namib,Rockton,Liger,Samun, and Nanuk.But the public ultimatelydecided on Tiguanand I'm damn glad I did,'cause I don't want to drivearound in a car called Rockton.Sounds like lacrosse player.Tiguan means tiger iguana.Super fitting for a vehiclethat blends reptilian resiliencewith tiger like agility.And just like it's portmanteau name,the Tiguan is a portmanteauof everything for VW has to offer.200 hrspr turbo two liter, check.Six speed manual, check.2,200 pound tow capacity, check.I can pull my Golf with my Tiguan.I love daily driving my little lizard cat.Got some KWV 3s on there,got some 20 inch Rotiforms, some Toyos,an APR Stage 1 Plus tune.(bleep) cherry.- Have not seen these yet so--- No --- Boost Creeps hoodie.Who's that handsome boy?Man, what a good looking hoodie.We reworked the logo a little bit.Now it's in yellow, reallypop skins that black.We added an arm hit so youcan fly that Donut flag.I'm gonna rock mine all fall, all winter.Go to DonutMedia.com and get you one.They're probably gonna sell outso I would get it sooner than later.If you want to learn more about TVRcheck out this episode of "Up To Speed".If you want to know more aboutreally, really dumb car nameslike Scrum Wagon,check out
