chinese car names

the other day the mother-in-law was asking about the new car. she could not remember the english name well and so she asked for the chinese name. for honda it is 本田and civic is 思域(思想的领域). the wife jumped when she thought she heard 私欲(私人的欲望) or whatever it was. had a good laugh, haha.

hmm, then my previous car would have been called 丰田威驰(威风,驰骋). no prize for guessing what it is in english or japanese!
