I've always hated the "Fuel Injection" or "ABS" on the outside of the car. To me, those make just as much sense as "60/40 folding rear seat" or "Power steering" would. I can understand V6 or V8 <and Ford's V8 symbol is the best, Cadillac's Northstar symbol is the worst>, and even 4x4/AWD <Honda's SH-AWD is disqualified for being a stupid name>.
It's the cluster of plastic lettering that says "$h!! We built it, but now we have to tell people what it is!" on the trunk lids that looks like ass. Putting trim levels on the outside is stupid if the trim is only a group of meaningless letters <SS, R/T don't count since those are acronyms>. Who really cares if it's a Taurus GS or LX or ZZ, or UGLY? Only one manufacturer currently can get away with a letter designation like that and it's Chrysler with the "C" on the 300. On the other hand, if manufactures use a name instead of a meaningless letter combo that would be acceptable <i.e. 300 Touring, LaCross Super, Vue Red-line>
Sorry Acura and Jaguar, the word "Type" is now dead. Blame Jaguar... they killed it with the S-Type R
Even the on car I've owned with the longest "name" still managed to include the entire name on the car without being gaudy about it.
Oldsmobile Toronado Caliente....
Oldsmobile was on the front fender just behind the wheel... where the GM badges are now
Toronado was on a piece of 1 1/2 inch tall brushed stainless steel trim across the back of the trunk
Caliente was on the b-pillar
Sorry Fly... your Bonneville SSei-ei-oh gets swept up in all this mess.
