Not long ago, Harvard conducted a model name poll online. At the beginning of the month, Haval announced the official map of the brand-new SUV model, code-named B06, and at the same time, on June 5, launched a new car collection and naming activity for the whole network. Netizens voted from ten alternative names, and the one with the most votes will become the new car name. In the end, the "Harvard Big Dog" stood out and was officially named after the new car.
Such "wonderful" and "interesting" names make many people laugh and cry, and some netizens complain that they are too "simple and rude". But in the automobile industry, there are quite a few unusual car names like "Haval Big Dog". Next, I'll give you an inventory.
1, the domestic "mathematics school"
When it comes to cars and mathematics, most people may fill in the scenes where scientists measure various aerodynamic data in the laboratory. However, have you ever thought that one day mathematical symbols will become vehicle names?
Changan Auchan Automobile named one of its cars as cos series, including COS 1 and COS 5. This makes poor math partners a little confused. Fortunately, Changan Auchan Automobile also gave the cos series a Chinese homophonic name-Kosai, which can be regarded as taking care of a group of people who want to buy this car but can't name it for a while.
If you think "cos" is hard enough, you are still too young. Du Yun, a brand of new energy vehicles, also has a π series with greater difficulty coefficient. When I first heard this name, I was haunted by a large number, and even made up a dialogue scene when I went to a 4S shop: "Hey buddy, give me a 3. 14 15926……". Like cos, the name π is not very friendly to the math scum among college dropouts. You said I had saved enough money to buy a car, and you had to test my reading ability of mathematical symbols. Isn't that painful?
2. Light trucks are "rude"
Compared with those brands that beat around the bush and cite mathematical elements, the naming of domestic light trucks is simpler and ruder. Think about it, what are the requirements of light truck consumers for vehicles? Junior requires that the vehicle can pull and run, and the vehicle is big and strong. Up a bit, the owner wants to make a fortune by this light truck, and the financial resources are rolling. Regardless of whether the performance and quality of the vehicle itself can meet these requirements, car companies have greatly satisfied the vision of the owner in naming.
What "Hercules", "Big Wood God" and "Little Taurus" have sprung up in the market, and there are even "western cowboys" who use foreign cultures as metaphors. Does the implication mean that driving this kind of car will be like God's help, pulling fast and earning a lot?
In fact, this is not wrong. China people have always attached great importance to a good name. Look at the names of newborns and you will know how much China people value the meaning of names. As long as the owner accepts and likes it, whether it is rough or not is a good name.
3. Show off the "aviation faction"
In addition, many automobile manufacturers like to associate their products with airplanes. For example, it is now common for consumers to tow passenger airliners, which are faster than fighters. But have you ever seen a plane called "Touch Porcelain"?
Speaking of "A380", you may immediately think of Airbus models. It's actually the name of a car. Yongyuan Automobile has an SUV called A380. In the future, when an old classmate asks you what car you drive, you can generously answer, "I drive an A380."
A similar model named after the aircraft model is Wei Chai's Yingzhi 737. Interestingly, this is the name of Boeing, Airbus A380' s old rival in the sky. It seems that Boeing and Airbus are going to PK from the sky to the ground.
In my opinion, the advertisements of these two cars in the future can be written like this: "With it, are you still afraid of the rich second generation who are covered in labor and cattle at the class reunion?" (I can't hold back, the author laughs first, hahaha)
4. McLaren's "Digital School"
Don't think that only "second-rate car companies" use some strange names. Well-known supercar manufacturer McLaren also has a car with such a wonderful name-MP4-12C.
MP4？ Hmm? Is it a descendant of MP3? Many people around me have had such questions. Since it's called MP4, is this a car for music? Is the acoustics good? Can you "move and fight" on the track all day?
Actually, MP4 refers to McLaren in its name? Project? Four? Formula? A person's pure racing pedigree, and "12" emphasizes performance and efficiency, which also means that MP4-197 and F 1 2 semi-automatic brake-assisted steering system on racing cars are applied, and "C" means that carbon fiber single cockpit is used.
Write at the end:
Generally speaking, the naming of car models represents a beautiful vision. For example, "sagitar" and "Bora" mean rapid take-off and lucky money; There are also some vehicle names that represent performance parameters. For example, Lamborghini LP700-4 represents a vehicle with 700 horsepower and four-wheel drive structure.
These slightly "wonderful" names mentioned above are actually understandable. They represent the ideas of manufacturers and the preferences of consumers. Still an old saying goes, "Being is reasonable", and what can appear and be accepted by consumers is reasonable.
