I was going to do a Top 10 list of the funniest car names we've seen in Okinawa, but I thought of a few more and had to add them as well. Sooo, as David Letterman would say.... "Ladies and Gentlemen, here is tonight's Top 12 list!"
#12. Suzuki Splash- Well, “splash” is actually a good name for a car here, since we’re on an island.
#11. Mitsubishi Mum 500- Looks like a little Jetson's car, only it doesn't fly ;)
#10. Toyota Stout – It’s an older pickup from the ‘70s I’m guessing, that I’ve seen around a few times... not very exciting.
#9. Toyota Deliboy- If you don’t own a sandwich shop, why would you want this car? Interesting.
#8. Daihatsu Move- I bet if it “moved” too fast around a corner, it would tip over. It somewhat resembles a Scion-xb, if you know what that is.
#7. Mazda Bongo- Just a boring van, so it needs a catchy name to get your attention.
#6. Honda Joy Machine- I’m not sure if driving that car would bring me anything close to joy, haha.
#5. Honda Life Dunk- A Japanese mini-vehicle w/ a turbo engine. The first turbo vehicle to pass the low-emission test here. I love this name, haha!
#4. Daihatsu Latte- Could I get this latte at Starbucks for $2.50? Nope.
#3. Suzuki Every- A compact little van, supposed to be very roomy inside. So you can fit “Every”body in it??
#2. Honda That's- Seriously, "That's" is the name of the car.... had to look twice on this one. A car “that is”…what??
#1. Daihatsu Naked- Imagine saying... "Hey, I'm going to go take the Naked for a drive, be back later!" What a name for a car, geez.

P.S. The picture shown above is of a Naked car. Put some clothes on.... come on! ;)
