Viaje ....Kinda sounds like Deja Vu...

But they already used Vue on the Saturn

I Usually get smart jokes bout it being called a horny hot rod. And yes the ultimate insult "is that the new Pt Cruiser?" Thats when i give them the 'cold/are you dumb and blind look' It has a big BOW-TIE At both ends!

But the three letters Serves me justice, and my need to be different. Plus i dont See to many other teens rushing out to get one to.

Hate it, People do not recognize it and you get that puzzled look when you tell them what it means . Should have incorporated Suburban into the name somehow.

I agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe since Chrysler had the PT Cruiser GM figured they should have a name that was initials too. Whatever. Anyway..that's why I gave mine its own name.

However if they see it in person they usually get it right away.

Once you convince them it's not a PT Cruiser!

Ever notice the car "names" usually follow a "fad"?

Somebody calls their product a name with numbers and others follow.

When the wife and I were at Castle Air Museum to welcome the T-39, we parked right by the hangar doors (along side another truck), and the Crew Chief asked '...can the person who owns the HHR please move it...'

I said that '...I appreciated him not calling it a PT Cruiser...'

He said that his neighbor bought one last week, and he was going to a Chevy dealer and look at one.

I gave him a thumbs up!
