Ford has a few as well. The Edsel come to mind pretty quick.
I'll get flamed for this. As much as I love the King Ranch edition of trucks, that name is just plain stupid.

When Toyota first released the Tacoma pickup, I walked into a dealership and asked them "Why?" - Having almost been shot in East Tacoma because my van was painted blue, I wanted to know why in the world Tacoma was picked for the pickup name.
Without blinking an eye, the guy looked at me and said "Would you rather we named it the Chicago?"
Good point, I guess...

What about the Olds Silhouette VAN? Not much in the line of stealth..If that was ever the idea....
Also, the Dodge? Montana van.....Seemed kinda fitting...but still not a genrally good idea to name a vehicle after a state...

Edsel Ford was the son of Henry Ford, not just one of the designers. Henry II, son of Edsel, was company president at the time, so the car was named after his father. Maybe not such a good idea, but Ford is a family-run business.
