I’d Drive the Banderas

This is not a flimsy excuse to post an Antonio picture. The auto industry is in deep doo-doo and according to this story: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/jun/12/what-might-help-automakers-junk-gibberish-car-name/ getting rid of stupid car names like Mercedes CLK  or Cadillac DTS might help the ailing industry.

Here’s the good news: “Brighter days are dawning, maybe. Namebase’s Beckhardt, who says alphanumeric names are passe, is bringing back pronounceable ones that “clearly communicate the benefits or personality of the car.”

Celebrities have their monikers on loads of things, why not cars? For instance, the Banderas would be sexy and sophisticated, with more enough under the hood to go the distance.

Well? What would you drive?
