Why are Americans so much better at naming things?

>practical informative names
>tryhard marketing

dunno I mean I guess if youre a kid that buys into that type of thing

>>17882895

because americans invented marketing as we know it

>>17882895
>USS Gabrielle Giffords

>>17882895
>BUICK ROADMASTER
Because we know we're the best.

cadillac ats-v
cadillac cts-v
i always mix those shits up
cts-v should be the smaller car because it litereally menans ''compact transgender seizure - velocity''

RS and SS are the best names

>>17882955
Right, because Seville and Deville were so much better.

>licoln MKZ, MKX, MKC, MKS, MKT

M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, X5M, X6M, gotta love plain and simple kraut naming

>>17883004
You'd think they would want to step away from making things sound like serial numbers.

because Americans have no technical sense, and are all iPhone users, point to food with numbers, and have conversations with Emojis

sounds efficient desu

Nothing beats Chinese restaurants where you can just order a #73 because nobody can pronounce that shit and all you really need to know is that it's based around chingchangchong style noodles and it has two spicy stars so it might not be entirely bland.

Names are iconic and recognizable, amalgamations of numbers and letters are not. Except for a select few (M3, GTR) a normie will never be able to tell you what an LS 330Mi AMG is.

But I'd also like to point out that Americans are, in fact, the absolute worst at naming things and that the British are by fat the best at naming things in the world.

The Virgin Americans:

> Can't come up with original names; name all their citites/towns/streets after places that already exist (New York, Manchester)
> Name their ships after autistic people (USS Gerald R. Ford)
> Cars get boring/wierd names (See: Ford Probe, Ford Explorer)

The Chad Brits:

> All cities and towns have cool, original names (Exeter, Stratford-upon-avon)
> Ships have fucking cool names (HMS Victory, HMS Vengeance)
> Cars also get interesting and fitting names (Aston Martin Virage, Land Rover Defender, Jensen Interceptor, etc.)

Well established luxury brands like BMW, MB, Lexus, Audi, etc have intentionally ambiguous and forgettable model names to put the emphasis on the brand itself and all the reputation it carries. That way even if you're driving a shitty entry level Mercedes Benz B-class the emphasis is on the "Mercedes Benz" and not "shitty B-class"

Manufacturers like Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge that make most of their money off uninspired, boring shitboxes intentionally do the opposite and place the emphasis on the model to separate the car from the brand. That way you can say "I drive a Mustang" instead of "I drive a Ford".

>>17883004
And then you have names like "X6M50D."

I do agree. Americans have much better naming (and cooler)

Ford Mustang, Dodge viper/challenger/charger, chevrolet camaro.
Simply love to say out the names of these car.

Germans have horrible naming. Audi A5, Mercedes cla45, BMW 435d.
Its uninspiring to call out german car names.

>>17885135
makes sense actually

So the Germans are autistic, and Americans are appealing to autists.

What happened to Japan though? We had a long legacy of famous nameplates, and some pretty sweet names (Supra, Skyline, Cressida, Soarer, Crown, Fairlady, Sylvia, Integra, so on and so forth). Now we've got a jumble of numbers and letters for the most part, with only a view surviving nameplates.

>> Name their ships after autistic people (USS Gerald R. Ford)

KEK

I have to agree that if anything, Americans have the better names for cars.
German car naming systems are too sterile. Taking my previous cars for example, saying Le Baron is much more luxurious and cool sounding than 5 series.

>>17886161
>Foxbody is the colloquial name, because the car was based on the Ford Fox platform series, the predecessor to the Panther platform
>Mustang is the model
>Cobra is the tuned spec, named after the original Shelby Cobra
Makes sense, what really fucks my head is the Camaro's naming schemes
>Camaro RS SS ZL1 1LE Track Performance Package™
