Name mockery; what, really, is in a name?

Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

Anyone else get jabbed over the name "Kizashi"?

I get a lot of "Asstackee" and "Kawasuki"......of course, I am a new-Honda salesman.

It makes a helluva lot more sense than "camry", "corolla", "altima", "elantra" and millions of others. At least it MEANS something ("something good is coming" or "a good omen" in Japanese in case you didn't know)

That said, Honda is pretty sensible about their model names generally. Accord, Civic, Pilot, Odyssey are good ... Not sure how Element or Fit match the intent of the vehicle .. And CR-Z probably doesn't count either way since it's not a word

I have had "Aaa-Tish-oooo" which I thought was rather clever

I get the 'Hibachi' one a lot as well. Then we go for a ride and the funny name calling ends quickly.
