Today I decided to combine two challenges (Black and White Friday and What colors do you think I am?).
Manufacturers have large departments where they decide only on the name of a particular model. Naming a car is one of the most important things. The name must be striking, easy to pronounce, and politically correct in all markets. An accidental name brings additional costs and can completely ruin a car’s reputation.
Here are some examples:
1. Audi TT
Audi named the TT model after the Tourist Trophy motorcycle race, which takes place every year on the famous Isle of Man.
2. Lamborghini
Lamborghini has a rich history of naming its models after bulls.
3. Nissan Qashqai
The best-selling mid-size SUV in Europe is named after a Turkish-speaking tribe living in the Iranian Zagros Mountains.
4. Volkswagen golf
Golf got its name from the bay current, which is called golfstrom in German. Passat is the German term for trade winds, jetta got its name from the jet stream, and scirocco is the Mediterranean wind that blows from the Sahara.

This is very interesting. Sometimes, brands use a foreign name to name their cars.
I agree. I have also come across some such cases.
That’s such a beautiful color!
Thanks, It’s my favorite color but I don’t know if it’s a car paint
I was amazed when I saw the picture I knew what color it was. Something went wrong. I like this color.
Looks like I was no longer collected and made a mistake loading the image.😊
Your favorite color…. purple!!😀I thought this was the post revealing the correct answer, and I was wondering how I lost the black and white picture!
I apologize. I made a mistake loading the image. My head no longer worked well 😊
It just seemed to me that something was wrong, dear Vidocka ….. it happens …. I will guess the color ….. maybe purple? haha
Thank you for your understanding. This time you guessed the right color 😃😃
You offered me that opportunity
I need to make your choice easier for you at least once 😊
Thank you for your kindness, dear Vidocka
Am I missing something here.. the photo shows a purple car.
No, nothing is missing. It’s my fault. I didn’t mean it when I uploaded the picture 😃
thank you so much! I am much more likely to correctly guess the color of this one!
I guess green! 🙂
Hahaha … Unfortunately, you didn’t guess the right color this time either 😃😃
oh no! How could I miss I was so sure I was right!!!
Down the road about five miles from us is a gated community with massive houses. I was driving up towards the apple orchard when I saw a Lamborgini pulling into one of the driveways. I wanted to stop and watch!
Unfortunately, I can’t help you anymore 😊 … I watched a documentary some time ago about a factory where they make Lamborghini. This is not for our pockets 😃
they are so beautiful though.
I will work on my color guessing!
It is purple. The polls have been finally fixed.
Hahaha … I can’t believe you guessed the right color 😃
That is true. A bad name can ruin the car’s reputation even if it’s the best model.
I agree. I know of some such cases.
I think the car is black but I like that purple color
Thank you, Sandra. I’m glad you like the car.
Today, however, my head really doesn’t work. I made your job easier and immediately showed you the original picture. 😱😱😱
That is ok, we all had fun with this purple car. 🙂
Thank you, Carol. When I realized the mistake, I was angry with myself for a while. It’s really “fun” in a slightly different way.😊
Don’t worry, this almost happend to me before.
Thank you so much, Ellie. I was angry at myself for quite some time. 😊
Mistakes happen, at least this time we were able to get the correct color. 🙂
You are right. In the end, it turned out to be a fun post 😃
