Hopefully this will be a fun thread! Historically, I give my car a name. Once I get it home, I drive the car and find what fits. My first car was "Happy Piece O'Junk". Over the years I have had cars such as Fudge, Susie, Trent, Rocky, Gretel. My first generation RDX was Sister Chicken because of the beaky front end. My 2016 Advance was Bella, because she was such a beautiful blue Bella. Now I have gen 3, with three diving modes and three similar, but different personalities. Some may call it silly - but I think it's fun! I just brought my new RDX Advance Fathom Blue (yes, I adore the Fathom Blue) home on Tuesday night, so I am not yet set on a name, but Sport + mode is feeling like Danica or Cha Cha (after Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney). This car may end up with more than one name. What's your new car's name?

 

 

I've named very few of the 27 vehicles I've owned. Some that I recall right off hand...

A new '08 Infiniti G35 was named "Ashley" after the really nice saleslady.
A well-used '99 Mazda B2500 was named "Diego" by a good Hispanic friend of mine because he said it reminded him of a Mexican truck.
A new '16 CR-V was named "Cravy" because of the letters C R (a) V (y).
A new '17 Ridgeline was named "Jack" after the name of the Honda dealer.
A new '17 Civic Si was named "Jack Honda Jr." after the first three letters of the license plate J H J.

Otherwise, I refer to my vehicles as "car", "truck", or "vehicle". If the model is a flagship of the marque or easily recognized, I'll called it by the model name such as "Accord". If the marque sounds more impressive than the model, then I'll use the brand name. For example, I refer to my RDX as "the Acura" since that sounds more fancy than "SUV" or "RDX". I suspect more non-Acura owners are more familiar with "Acura" than "RDX".

 

Mine is : The RDX"

 

 

The grandboys named ours as well....."Grammys Rocket". I showed them the intro ad and now they want me to show them the ad every time they come over. They giggle when its doing the donut.

 

I present to you, "The Raptor."

 

I don't name my cars, my wife usually does that - I just refer to it as 'my car'. Right now she's vacillating between "Ace" (derived from ACura?) or "Ardy" (from RDx?).

 

I remember back in high school my girlfriend pronounced Acura as a-CUR-a instead of A-cur-a. That always annoyed me, but it was best not to correct her. That was back when Acura used epic names like Integra, Vigor, and Legend instead of the more cryptic ILX, TLX, and RLX,

I wonder if anyone has named their Acura "Aruca" (Acura spelled backwards and pronounced "Erica")?

I'm with @Hou-RL...I just call mine the RDX

 

Do you say that with reverb?

 

Just so long as it's not pronounced 'Ridex'.

 

He studddddddders.....
