Bad Product Names

People don’t believe me when I tell them, but it’s true: Nissan really does make a car called the Armada. The car is as absurd as it sounds. It is approximately the size of some apartments in this city, and of some cities in Europe.

Why pick a name like Armada? Why, to convey that this is no mere land-yacht, no sir! It’s a whole FLEET! I assume it handles like an armada going down in a storm off the coast of Spain. Or like the oil tanker required to fuel it– the 5.6 liter, 8-cylinder engine means you’ll be doing as little as 13 MPG in city driving. The 4×4 LE edition weighs 5,612 pounds, and the titans are priced to move at $35,000 to $40,000.

Is there a better way to proclaim to the world that you are an asshole? I mean, aside from driving a Hummer?
