Automotive related: I would think twice before naming a model this...

Oct 19, 2007 19 Replies

While on a service call the other day, I couldn't help but notice with some amusement a Chevrolet pick-up truck with an interesting 'trim level' name.



I think if I were GM the LAST thing I would name a model would be...


The Flatliner...


LOL! Someone's brain up & left their cranium when that name was chosen. ;-)

No such thing - maybe you should get improved glasses. There was a Fleetliner and a Fleetline.....

Anyway, is that any worse than a Dodge RAM? I think Chevy or someone also had a prototype car that they called The Impact.

Why did you tell them, now you ruined it ;)

Names can be a selling point. More woman purchased Ford PROBES than men.

Gee, I can read just fine. It said "Flatliner" and had a logo like you'd see on an EKG for a normal heartbeat.

I'll take a friggin' photo if it's there next time I go there. Geeze...

I believe you Hach! I seem to remember some years ago that so local idiot type had a "Toyolet" complete with name plates - seems he'd got a small block chevy in some small Toyota (I think it was a Corona) - long time ago anyhow) But, this is California and weird s*it happens here (I mean hey, look at Pelosi being speaker) Ron

Is it as bad as TRD? Pronouced 'turd' by truck owners ;)

Now, THAT would be a blast!!!
