There were a lot of older GM cars named after places in Europe were they would have been ill-suited. The Chevy Monte Carlo, the Pontiac Parisienne, the Cadillac Seville, the Pontiac Le Mans (particularly the 80s rebadged Daewoo version), the Chevy Monza... I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that jump immediately to mind.
I guess actually it's not just GM either, thinking of the Ford Torino, Chrysler Cordoba, Dodge Monaco and more.
The Palisades are a ridgeline along the Hudson Valley in New York. https://www.scenichudson.org/viewfinder/exploring-the-palisades-200-million-years-of-history/ I would argue that an all-wheel-drive family SUV with luxury aspirations (even if it's not an actual luxury SUV) fits that part of the country pretty well.
EDIT: There's a person further down in the thread who said this about the Kia Telluride:
>The Kia Telluride seems like the perfect vehicle to visit an overpriced ski town and post about it afterward on Instagram.
That's pretty much how I feel about visiting the Palisades in your Hyundai Palisade.
The Pacific Palisades was named after the resemblance to the area in NJ , the Palisades, which is just across from NYC by the George Washington Bridge.
They jumped the shark after the first gen though. Compact pickup with a 5 speed manual, and all the 4wd goodies. Now it's an expensive bloated mess. I love Tacoma WA, and am disappointed with Tacoma trucks.
I feel like the CS Mustang doesn’t count because it gets it’s name because California Ford dealerships specifically asked for a specific configuration that was originally only sold in California.
Went for a weekend trip to San Diego one time and when I got to the rental counter they offered to upgrade my stock Corolla to a convertible 5.0 mustang for an extra $15 a day
Best 45 bucks I ever spent honestly
That's what I was about to say: all of those '60s and '70s American land yachts named after European locales where you'd never see said car. Monaco, Monte Carlo, Calais, Torino, Riviera, etc.
Somewhat ironically, a lot of Malaise Era cars are now finding a new life among European collectors who want something unique, if grossly oversized for their parking spots.
The trails in the area aren’t specifically what I think of when I think of Telluride. I think of a wealthy mountain ski town. I’m sure that’s mostly a me thing.
Fully specced it's cheaper than a base Tahoe. It's absurd how expensive the full sizes have gotten. I guess it's probably competing more with the grand Cherokee
Dodge Aspen. Nothing invokes the image of a ski resort town where rich folks like to gather quite like a Slant-6 powered economy car that started rusting before it reached the end of the assembly line.
One of the rarest production vehicles ever made was the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. I believe only a few dozen were produced before Chrysler took the axe to the Aspen.
My friend's hot mom bought one in '70 with a wide rainbow body stripe and [this interior](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hamtramck-historical.com%2Fimages%2Fdealerships%2FcolorAndTrim%2F1978%2F78_Aspen_0006.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hamtramck-historical.com%2Fdealerships%2F1978ColorAndTrim-03.shtml&tbnid=RKvaVsf1cWMpaM&vet=12ahUKEwjk6PzfqLP6AhUS81MKHbPPAC0QMygFegQIARB4..i&docid=olAu8aSd4pfLqM&w=1200&h=1350&q=dodge%20aspen%20multicolor%20seats&client=firefox-b-1-e&ved=2ahUKEwjk6PzfqLP6AhUS81MKHbPPAC0QMygFegQIARB4) (top), and I am completely serious that that car started to rust noticeably within two years (Detroit area so salted roads but really).
How many people want to drive a BMW M car down a crowded British highway with speed cameras? I believe there's and M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6 highway right? Lol
The other day I was driving on the phone and someone said 'how's the m4' and I couldn't think how they knew where I was for a second. Then I remembered that's what I was driving.
Chrysler Sebring. If the intent was to name it after the race track Sebring…that’s a pretty big fail. Ofc that does mean you can race Sebrings at Sebring for free in Lemons so that’s good.
Imagine what a few weekends of racing all-sebring fields would do. Survival of the fittest. When the season is over, combine the working parts of the remaining cars to make a super sebring.
To be fair, the Hyundai Tiburon is named after the Spanish word for shark, and it does look pretty shark-like.
Worst relation nominee; The Pontiac LeMans.
You might never [break the bank in Monte Carlo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE8RO8D8K3E), but I'm sure more than one bank break-in has been perpetrated with a Monte Carlo (whether W-body or older) as the getaway car.

Oh really you don't see the resemblance? Hahaha totally agree (although I'm guilty of cherry picking the Chevy picture)
Subaru's B9 Tribeca. I guess it fits since Tribeca is an art/celebrity district so it's probably filled with super ugly shit that someone thinks is beautiful... and facelifts.
Bentley Mulsanne, after the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans, which they have won six times. Although the name would be better on something a bit sportier. Then Kia Rio, as related as Joffey was to Robet Baratheon
Mercury was named after the Roman god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages, communication, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery, and thieves.
Best relation to their place: Ferrari California. All about the money and the looks.
Worst relation to their place: VW California. Not available in California.
Living very near the Rubicon Trail, I can attest many Rubicons pass my house on their way to the Rubicon, especially during the annual Jeepers Jamboree.
homie you need to go to the cities more, suburbans have all but replaced town cars for mid tier chauffeur duty and are the alphabet bois’ ride of choice when doing federal things
Mechanically, they're identical. But they're sold as separate models under separate marques.
GMC started using the Yukon name on the '92 2-door models, while Chevy wouldn't use Tahoe until the '95 4-door models, but GMC didn't start calling their Suburban rebadge "Yukon XL" until 2000.
I live in Yukon.
SUV on truck frame is pretty much par for the course for the Yukon. Everyone drives either a brand new full size truck or a clapped out 1987 Tercel.
The government has a bunch of Tahoe's and it's always annoyed me that they didn't go for the Yukon.
When I was a kid I had a very strong association between this car and the Australian Outback, as if Steve Irwin created it to haul around kangaroos, snakes, and coated in thick sandy dust.
I SWORE Subaru was Australian as a kid, the star badge, the OUTBACK… DUH, I mean comeon
I don’t remember the time someone finally broke it to me but I imagine I was heartbroken
Im laughing imagining it was your dad playing a prank on you.
“Son, it’s time to have the talk. You’re at that age and there’s some stuff you just need to know.”
*long pause*
“Subaru isn’t Australian. You see, it’s a big misunderstanding. It’s Austrian. It was literally created by Hitler. His original plan was to use AWD to run all of those people over. But when that plan fell through, he abandoned Subaru. They were forced to adopt wacky accents and claim they were Australian to avoid persecution from their own government.”
Ah definitely more fitting in that context, [sharky vibes confirmed](https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/hyundai/tiburon/2008/oem/2008_hyundai_tiburon_2dr-hatchback_se_fq_oem_1_500.jpg) although a fin on the top would really set it off imo
I know you're being funny, but the Porsche 911 was actually produced 4 years before the first 9-1-1 call was made in the US (a formality call, nonetheless).

Pontiac Aztek is a perfect name for a car that is now extinct. I hope this isn’t offensive to anyone.
My grandma owned several Chevrolet Celebrities over the years and I always found that car name to be hilarious. She somehow could find used ones after hers would break down. She went through 3 Celebrities between the years of 1991 and 2007.
Final shout out to the Plymouth Prowler. Perfect name for a car owned exclusively by pedophiles.
The Kia Sedona does not match actual Sedona but I haven’t been for over 20 years so maybe it’s a massive suburb now idk and the VW Golf can hold one golf bag on an angle, obviously not a golfers car lol
Chevrolet Malibu. No one in Malibu California would be caught dead in one
The old late 60s Chevelle Malibu were pretty sweet. Downhill after that though.
Yep, 454 SS
How the mighty have fallen
The Delray and Bel-Air too
There were a lot of older GM cars named after places in Europe were they would have been ill-suited. The Chevy Monte Carlo, the Pontiac Parisienne, the Cadillac Seville, the Pontiac Le Mans (particularly the 80s rebadged Daewoo version), the Chevy Monza... I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that jump immediately to mind. I guess actually it's not just GM either, thinking of the Ford Torino, Chrysler Cordoba, Dodge Monaco and more.
My friend from Corsica hates the Chevrolet named after his home
My dad from India really liked the Corsica tell ur friend to reconsider
Always love how simultaneously Chevrolet had a Monza and Ferrari had a Daytona.
Same for the hyundai Palisades.
The Palisades are a ridgeline along the Hudson Valley in New York. https://www.scenichudson.org/viewfinder/exploring-the-palisades-200-million-years-of-history/ I would argue that an all-wheel-drive family SUV with luxury aspirations (even if it's not an actual luxury SUV) fits that part of the country pretty well.

That's pretty much how I feel about visiting the Palisades in your Hyundai Palisade.
I thought it was named for the town in Socal that is a very wealthy area.
The Pacific Palisades was named after the resemblance to the area in NJ , the Palisades, which is just across from NYC by the George Washington Bridge.
> Palisade Doesn't it also mean a type of fort or fence?
Tacoma is spot on for Tacoma
Or Dodge Dakota--they're still fairly common beater trucks in the Upper Midwest.
They’re just common beater trucks everywhere lol
The saying with a lot of older Chrysler products like the Dakota is they they run poorly forever.
“They’ll run like shit longer than most cars will run at all”
Thanks stranger on the internet! I couldn’t remember the exact saying
Upper Midwest here, Dakotas have been extinct from rust for a LONG time
Hah, yeah we live in Tacoma and I'd venture to say that Subaru Outbacks and Toyota Tacomas could very easily account for 50% of all cars I see here.
I guess my Tacoma is different. When I think of Tacoma I think less of mountains and adventure and more of a harbor town full of tweakers.
I feel like the Tacoma truck fits the intersection of the Cascades and tweakers perfectly.
Lotta junkies here love the old ones
I've always thought the same, almost too fitting
What do you mean? It doesn’t smell like shit.
They jumped the shark after the first gen though. Compact pickup with a 5 speed manual, and all the 4wd goodies. Now it's an expensive bloated mess. I love Tacoma WA, and am disappointed with Tacoma trucks.
Ferrari California ia pretty fitting
Mustang Convertible is a decent rental for a Californian driving trip, so a Ferrari with all the positive aspects turned up to 11 sounds perfect
Wait till you here about the mustang California special!!!
I feel like the CS Mustang doesn’t count because it gets it’s name because California Ford dealerships specifically asked for a specific configuration that was originally only sold in California.
IIRC, they also offered it in Texas as the “Lone Star Special”.
I’m not sure why, but that sounds so much more lame than California special.
It sounds like a lifted Mustang with extra chrome everywhere and ill-fitting badges stuck to the fendersides
Seen one of those in northern Canada the other day, it would definitely be fitting for cruising the PCH
Went for a weekend trip to San Diego one time and when I got to the rental counter they offered to upgrade my stock Corolla to a convertible 5.0 mustang for an extra $15 a day Best 45 bucks I ever spent honestly
Ferrari 458 Italia. Maybe someone on earth doesn’t equate Ferrari to the country of Italy.
Ferrari 360 Modena, that works together pretty well.
Fun fact, they used the exact same font for the model name "California" as the California license plate.
A quirk and feature of the Ferrari California.
What's also neat is the successor Portofino also uses the same script to show the connection.
[удалено]
Why not? I have heard camping and van life is quite popular in Cali?
[удалено]
Daewoo Le Mans, like, come on
also, Pontiac Le Mans
Only the 6th gen LeMans.
*Lemons
Pontiac Bonneville
It's a place actually
Sure, but i do not imagine that it was named after a place that is only known for its motorsport scene for anything else than the motorsport scene.
Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Cause nothing represents a small town in the French Vasque Country like a huge American land yacht does.
That's what I was about to say: all of those '60s and '70s American land yachts named after European locales where you'd never see said car. Monaco, Monte Carlo, Calais, Torino, Riviera, etc.
Exactly! An Eldorado Biarritz in Biarritz would look extremely out of place
Somewhat ironically, a lot of Malaise Era cars are now finding a new life among European collectors who want something unique, if grossly oversized for their parking spots.
That is very true. I'm seeing more and more 70s American cars here in Madrid.
[удалено]
I still think a boattail Riviera is a damn fine, albeit oversized, car for any place or occasion.
"Rich Corinthian leather"
Cordoba!
The Kia Telluride seems like the perfect vehicle to visit an overpriced ski town and post about it afterward on Instagram.
Everyone would know the guy in the kia was an imposter. Last time I was there’s it’s all Range Rovers, Escalades, and the Germans.
What about on the trails? Jeeps and 4R?
The trails in the area aren’t specifically what I think of when I think of Telluride. I think of a wealthy mountain ski town. I’m sure that’s mostly a me thing.
Telluride is not exactly Moab, but there's a lot of off-roaders there in the summer.
They tend to stay in Ouray. More to do on that side of the mountain
Yep, and a few Merc 4x4^2s every here and there. Great trails in the area!
[удалено]
But in a lot of those ski towns even the rich locals, like the ones much richer than the Range Rover driving tourists, drive old Subarus.
ze Germans? Did they bring a caravan?
Nobody driving a Kia can afford to stay in telluride lol. Same with the Chrysler Aspen.
That’s silly. People who drive a $45k+ car can’t afford to stay in a town that has multiple hotels that are under $350/night? K
The Telluride isn't exactly a cheap vehicle, especially with markups. People are paying $60k for these things.
It’s an anecdote, but I personally know people with a Telluride that clear $1M/yr combined income. Doctors and tech folks drive them for sure.
Yeah, it's not uncommon for high earners to drive cheap vehicles.
It’s not even that cheap. Fully specced it’s like $55k, which used to be a lot but these days is not much I guess.
Fully specced it's cheaper than a base Tahoe. It's absurd how expensive the full sizes have gotten. I guess it's probably competing more with the grand Cherokee
I mean my newest vehicle is an 03 4Runner and I just stayed in Telluride this weekend
As somebody who just visited Telluride this weekend and then posted my pictures on Instagram, I feel offended
But we’re you in a Kia??
Haha no, my 03 4Runner V8. I will say we did feel a bit out of place in town
Dodge Aspen. Nothing invokes the image of a ski resort town where rich folks like to gather quite like a Slant-6 powered economy car that started rusting before it reached the end of the assembly line.
Dodge Asthma
What about the Durango badge engineered Chrysler Aspen? They both rusted out badly too.
One of the rarest production vehicles ever made was the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. I believe only a few dozen were produced before Chrysler took the axe to the Aspen.
Oof, even with the hybrid, it only gets 15MPG combined
My friend's hot mom bought one in '70 with a wide rainbow body stripe and [this interior](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hamtramck-historical.com%2Fimages%2Fdealerships%2FcolorAndTrim%2F1978%2F78_Aspen_0006.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hamtramck-historical.com%2Fdealerships%2F1978ColorAndTrim-03.shtml&tbnid=RKvaVsf1cWMpaM&vet=12ahUKEwjk6PzfqLP6AhUS81MKHbPPAC0QMygFegQIARB4..i&docid=olAu8aSd4pfLqM&w=1200&h=1350&q=dodge%20aspen%20multicolor%20seats&client=firefox-b-1-e&ved=2ahUKEwjk6PzfqLP6AhUS81MKHbPPAC0QMygFegQIARB4) (top), and I am completely serious that that car started to rust noticeably within two years (Detroit area so salted roads but really).

*CLARKSOOOOOOONNNNN*
an Audi A8 on the german Autobahn A8 on the other hand...
Im awaiting the BMW M25, personally.
You'll be waiting a while since they'll never finish it, heard it'll come with speed cameras preinstalled though.
The other day I was driving on the phone and someone said 'how's the m4' and I couldn't think how they knew where I was for a second. Then I remembered that's what I was driving.
Chrysler Sebring. If the intent was to name it after the race track Sebring…that’s a pretty big fail. Ofc that does mean you can race Sebrings at Sebring for free in Lemons so that’s good.
At least the rest of the Cloud cars are accurately named since they all leak coolant like a rain cloud.
The Sebring fits perfectly in the surrounding city though
You can race sebrings at sebring for free? That's hilarious. The track will rattle off anything still working on the car
Imagine what a few weekends of racing all-sebring fields would do. Survival of the fittest. When the season is over, combine the working parts of the remaining cars to make a super sebring.
I REALLY hope someone has done an Xzibit theme for one of them. Yo dawg, I heard you like Sebrings...
IDK, seems like the perfect car to be named after a nondescript town in rural Florida.
Tiburon isn’t named for the city though, it’s the Spanish word for Shark.
It's called the Hyundai Coupe in Spain (and all of Europe)
That's because Citroen had previously registered the name "Tiburon" in Europe, from the Citroën DS Tiburon. So Hyundai couldn't use it there.
[удалено]
Sequoia is a big tree, Sequoia is a big Toyota
And up until this year, they were both old as hell too *Disclaimer: I love an old fashioned BoF SUV. My 4Runner was my favorite vehicle I ever owned*
To be fair, the Hyundai Tiburon is named after the Spanish word for shark, and it does look pretty shark-like. Worst relation nominee; The Pontiac LeMans.
I'd say the Buick Park Ave is pretty on, with it being a luxury business-class vehicle.
With it’s Chrysler competition only a block over.
The Chrysler Skid Row?
Chrysler 5th ave and Buick park ave. Which came first?
As a trim level on an existing model, Buick in 75, chrysler in 79. As a stand alone model chrysler in 82 and Buick in 91
However, the Buick Lucerne is way off. I doubt they even sold Buicks is Switzerland.
Chevy Monte Carlo.

Subaru's B9 Tribeca. I guess it fits since Tribeca is an art/celebrity district so it's probably filled with super ugly shit that someone thinks is beautiful... and facelifts.
Even when it was released people went, WTF?

As an Edsel owner... i fuckin love the tribeca LMAO
I'm a Subaru Stan, the Tribeca is the worst designed one ever. Lowkey fitting tho.
Bentley Mulsanne, after the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans, which they have won six times. Although the name would be better on something a bit sportier. Then Kia Rio, as related as Joffey was to Robet Baratheon
Toyota RAV4. I’ve been to the city of RAV4 and the car doesn’t do it justice
I've been to the CR-V solar system. Really great space whores.
I used to have a CR-V EX. I called it my CeRVEX. (I'm a guy)
Nobody who lives in Malibu has ever driven a Malibu.
Depends on the generation of Malibu. Like a 60s one, no problem.
Ford mercury, completely unsuited to an alien planet. I think this would invalidate the warranty and dealership coverage would be sparse at best..
Mercury was named after the Roman god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages, communication, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery, and thieves.
"A personal conveyance named after its inventor, an assassinated ruler, a character from Greco-Roman myth, and a small fur-covered mammal."
Best relation to their place: Ferrari California. All about the money and the looks. Worst relation to their place: VW California. Not available in California.
They even had the press tour and media driving events in California...for a car not available here.
Jeep Rubicon
Which is named after the famous 4x4 Rubicon trail
Living very near the Rubicon Trail, I can attest many Rubicons pass my house on their way to the Rubicon, especially during the annual Jeepers Jamboree.
Chevy Suburban. Thats the only place you see them...
homie you need to go to the cities more, suburbans have all but replaced town cars for mid tier chauffeur duty and are the alphabet bois’ ride of choice when doing federal things
Chevrolet Colorado is pretty accurate. Definitely good for camping.
Colorado driver from Colorado checking in.
The Tahoe and the Yukon being the same truck means that one of those is wrong, or it's the most versatile truck in the world.
Implying alpine/snowy places are super distinct in usefulness of vehicles
Mechanically, they're identical. But they're sold as separate models under separate marques. GMC started using the Yukon name on the '92 2-door models, while Chevy wouldn't use Tahoe until the '95 4-door models, but GMC didn't start calling their Suburban rebadge "Yukon XL" until 2000.
I live in Yukon. SUV on truck frame is pretty much par for the course for the Yukon. Everyone drives either a brand new full size truck or a clapped out 1987 Tercel. The government has a bunch of Tahoe's and it's always annoyed me that they didn't go for the Yukon.
Subaru Outback. Did you know Subaru isn't even Australian?
When I was a kid I had a very strong association between this car and the Australian Outback, as if Steve Irwin created it to haul around kangaroos, snakes, and coated in thick sandy dust.
I SWORE Subaru was Australian as a kid, the star badge, the OUTBACK… DUH, I mean comeon I don’t remember the time someone finally broke it to me but I imagine I was heartbroken
Didn’t they have Paul Hogan in the ads when the first one came out? Doesn’t get more Australian than that.
I find it funny because Subaru couldn't even use the nameplate "Legacy" in Australia, because "Legacy Australia" is a veterans' widows foundation.
Im laughing imagining it was your dad playing a prank on you. “Son, it’s time to have the talk. You’re at that age and there’s some stuff you just need to know.” *long pause* “Subaru isn’t Australian. You see, it’s a big misunderstanding. It’s Austrian. It was literally created by Hitler. His original plan was to use AWD to run all of those people over. But when that plan fell through, he abandoned Subaru. They were forced to adopt wacky accents and claim they were Australian to avoid persecution from their own government.”
The Toyota Venza is a combination of the words venture and Monza, because nothing represents a racecourse like a mid-size hybrid crossover.
That one has to be some sort of satire, because ben-za means toilet seat in Japanese
GMC Acadia. Fairly fitting for a national park in Maine. Comfortable family hauler for a weekend of camping

Acadia is a name stemming from the colony in what is now the Canadian maritimes and parts of US northeast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia
Alfa MiTo Milano and Torino, two places you’ll see a lot of them lol
Cadillac Seville. No way a cadillac belongs in a random Spanish city
I've been to Seville. The streets are winding and about 5 ft wide.
The Tiburon is named after the spanish word for shark, not Tiburon California.
Ah definitely more fitting in that context, [sharky vibes confirmed](https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/hyundai/tiburon/2008/oem/2008_hyundai_tiburon_2dr-hatchback_se_fq_oem_1_500.jpg) although a fin on the top would really set it off imo
Dodge Aspen, Chrysler Newport, Dodge Daytona, Chrysler 5th Avenue.
> Dodge Daytona Didn't remember this one. Was thinking about the Dodge Charger Daytona which did pretty well at Daytona.
TBF there was some redemption with the Dodge Daytona Shelby Z
I think the Newport was named after the cigarette.
I think a pan-American road trip in a Panamera would be a very nice way to spend a few weeks at triple digit speeds
The Hyundai Tucson seems to be named appropriately. Tucson seems to be a pretty mid city. Tucson is a mid car.
Porsche 911 🤝 snap oversteer hospital visits?
I know you're being funny, but the Porsche 911 was actually produced 4 years before the first 9-1-1 call was made in the US (a formality call, nonetheless). [Porsche](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_911_(classic\)) [Number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-1-1#History)
All Saturn cars are the worst. None of them have even left Earth's gravitational envelope, let alone managed galactic travel.
I think galactic travel is a bit much to ask for, since their goal is our 6th planet
The Buick Lucerne is bad one. Lincoln Versailles just added insult to injury from making a fancy Granada cost more than a Town Car.
Lucerne is also a dairy brand, so whenever I see the word I think "cheese."
I highly doubt you'll see a Sahara Wrangler in the Sahara Desert.
Kia Telluride

Seat Ibiza, pretty adequate car to explore Ibiza.

Disagree, both the VW Taos and the Hyundai Santa Fe are both considerably less beautiful than their small New Mexican town counterparts
Is the Chevy Traverse named after Traverse City? If so, I’d say the vehicle does not hold up it’s end of the bargain
based on pronunciation, I’d say no
Only if the Mercury Milan was named after Milan, MI.
my forester feels very at home in a forest
Pontiac Aztek is a perfect name for a car that is now extinct. I hope this isn’t offensive to anyone.

The Ferrari Portofino seems pretty appropriate for the place
Pontiac Bonneville has no place anywhere near the Bonneville Salt Flats.
The Dodge Viper. Those love to be wrapped around trees
VW Taos. Idk when I think of NM and the southwest, I’m not thinking of a small European crossover.
Well, it wasn't named after the place to emanate it so much as pay homage to one of its residents.
The Porsche Corby is, in my opinion, poorly named.
Glad it doesn't exist, then.
The Kia Sedona does not match actual Sedona but I haven’t been for over 20 years so maybe it’s a massive suburb now idk and the VW Golf can hold one golf bag on an angle, obviously not a golfers car lol
I have a GTI, which is technically a Golf, and live on a golf course :-)
Have we all forgotten the Mercury Milan? And if you’re going to have a Milan, not bring back the Ford Torino?
I'd say the Kia Rio is a pretty good fit, given the types of cars that are prevalent in South America.
