Car names

How so?

not Slavic - in Croatian language pivo is word for beer.

So Croat does not belong to the Slavic language group?

Funny, that, because Slovenian, Czech, Polish, Serb et al do, and beer is pivo/piwo in all of them.

The car shape might be thought of as a giant mug for beer and things to do with cars (other than buying/driving) tend to be a male-orientated, and men tend to take a greater interest in beer details...

croats belong to slavic group, but they dont share same word for beer.... trust me. serbs, bosnians and croats says for beer "pivo" (that are very similiar languages) - no one else. slovenians, czech, polish are talking different languages, and they dont understand each other.

I'm a Polak and we say pivo, so do the Czechs, Slovaks, Ruskis, Ukrainians, Belarussians (country Russians), Bulgarians, etc. When spoken not too fast I can understand Serbo/Croat and all the other slavic languages, especially Czech, Slovak and Ukrainian, but then I speak russian as well so that helps.

I clicked on the Pivo link, as suggested by Dori, and read about a feature that could be interpreted by some as road rage ...

"...the radio for example, works with the aid of heat detectors and infrared sensors. For instance, to turn up the volume, you just need TO RAISE A FINGER, without taking your hand off the steering wheel."

I don't, because you are talking piffle.

All the languages I mentioned belong to the Slavic language group (plus the others listed by cp further along), and they all have the same word for beer ("Trust me", I have been to ex-YU, ex-CZ, not to mention PL, although this is all irrelevant.) This does not mean that they are identical. I am surpised that you, as a Croat don't know this. (Are you a Croat?)

Scandinavian languages, Dutch, German are all Germanic -- doesn't mean the speakers understand each other easily when speaking quickly, but you'd be suprised how much they have in common (but not the word for beer).
