Odd question:
How many British car model names can you come up with that follow these rules:
1. Doesn't end in a vowel: No Fiesta, Granada, Cortina, Viva
2. Doesn't end in a vowel sound: No Cavalier, Victor, Freelander
3. Doesn't end in a number: No Z3, 205 or 626
I'll start off with "Golf".
It's tougher than it looks; unimaginative types, these car namers. Try coming up with 20 on your own before reading the rest of this thread (assuming anyone's sad enough to add to the thread).

Quite right - I meant cars on sale in Britain, simply so Growler couldn't give us a list of Filipino weird names.
