Default New Model TM - They are getting worse

If the Ford Kuga was as bad a name as "Yaris" then how about the new one:

Ford FIGO (TM 1261138)

&

FIGO (TM 1261140)

If it was a 4wd or Awd the acronym could stand for F* Im Good Offroad.

Don't know any details, however, going by the trend, alot of small Ford Euro cars have been going by the 4 letter names lately:

FIGO (if it is one)
KUGA
LYNX
C-MAX
S-MAX (Not so small)
B-MAX
ISIS (Different to the IOSIS)

etc...

Could just be coincidence...

FIGO? Forced Induction & GO

Yeah another craptacular name, atleast Ford isnt as bad as Buick & Nissan. Cant see why they cant name cars after something cool.

It reminds me of the simpsons episode where Homer designs a car for his brother and they want to call it the Persephone. "People dont want cars named after dead greek broads... they want cool names like Mustang & Cheetah"
