Although some alphanumeric designations are pretty legendary (GTO, Z06, Z28, GT40, 240/280/300/350Z) I still prefer a proper name.

Name-wise, it depends. 'Tacoma' isn't exactly what I'd call prime taggage for a truck (I've been to the actual place a few times), even if the product is quality. Other names are a mystery. 'Camry'? 'Prius'? 'Accord'? I don't get it.

I like Alphanumeric, if they follow any type of logic...It can get out of hand though, look at the Harley FXSTBHDWGLDE examples...

I like a combo, with a name and then a model number, like Camaro Z28 as mentioned, or Mustang GT...

It is a name IMO: Chevrolet = make Camaro = model Z28 = option package |

I replied in the pole because I wanted to know what everyone else thought. However, as a honest attempt to add to the thread, here is what I think:
Names, eg, corvette, mustang, etc I like, However they have history. Would be pointless to rename a Mustang the 842gt because everyone associates the name with the car. With a new car, I don't really care as they both do the same thing....allow someone to differentiate between two different cars, easier. With model lines that have numbers, it is a bit more difficult to keep track of the car you are talking about because names are easier to remember than numbers (unless it's a well known vehicle....F150, etc). Also I think numbers work better when the numbers mean something: two vehicles of the same type (trucks that have different payload ratings, etc) from the same maker that have different abilities (f150 is a quarter ton, a f250 is a half ton, etc). |

+1 I prefer the letters or numbers at least most of the time, a few exceptions though. Names too often end up being pretty hokey. |

I don't really care either way. I have a 2005 GTO and listen to the geezers and the wannabes talk about it not being a "real GTO". I didn't buy the name, I bought 400 HP and a sub 14 second 1/4 mile. They could have named it the Pontiac Green Cheese for all I care as long as it's fast and comfortable and usable as a daily driver.
