Find a name for the new car is not easy because sometimes they decide success or failure of a car. There are numerous naming and what's below is just a small part in history over 100 years of automobile industry in the world.
Due to the difficulty in naming BMW and Mercedes have so wisely selected early-cylinder volume code to call their products. BMW 5 Series car was first to name the cylinder capacity in 1972. If a car named after its 525-series means 5 and a capacity of 2.5 liters. Later, when BMW equipped with both diesel and gasoline cars is the code name has the letter "d" only diesel vehicles and the letter "i" gasoline-only. And the "L" in the series 7 has great lengths to only from "long wheelbase - longer wheelbase."

The Mercedes-Benz products are similar to BMW but is a bit different. Series A-Class, Mercedes C-class of a classification related to European cars, but they are rooted in the advent of the E-Class in 1986. Then, after a series of names, Mercedes decided to bring the vehicle identification number is W124 E-Class and the "E" is taken from the term "Einspritz" in German, means "fuel injection". E-Class is Mercedes' first products using the technology for fuel injection 6-cylinder engine.
In that time, the car in the E-class E have the code behind not in front of capacity today. In 1994, when it introduced the C-Class, Mercedes put them on top. So, a car means it 300E of the E-class and life before 1994.
After E-class cars at a lower classification is denoted alphabetically as C-Class in 1994 and 1997 A-class. As high-end products with the symbol "SEL", "SEC", "SE" before moving into S-Class in 1994. Initially, Mercedes has taken the cylinder to volume numbers for their products. But then, due to engine changes and other causes that do not coincide with the name of the machine capacity. For example, C240 is a 2.6 liter capacity instead of 2.4 liters.

Besides taking abbreviated as CTS, Cadillac DTS, a few company insists the fact that Volkswagen set an example. Europe's largest carmaker from "Touareg" only a tribe who reside in sub-Saharan areas to place for SUV use. Only after a year, now, if on Google search for "Touareg", all definitions of the nomads were replaced by models of Volkswagen, and the Internet grows, it will turn into German in the near future. Hyundai, Korea's largest carmaker, also have similar naming Tucson (cities of Arizona, USA) or Tiburon (a town in California, USA).
Acura, luxury car independent of Honda in North America each have beautiful names like Integra (perfect), Legend (legendary), Vigor (strong). But later, Acura, or add the letter "X" as the MDX, TSX, RSX. The trend adds an "X" is also common in Infiniti.Nissan's luxury car company in America is often used to indicate volume number as "35", "45" and the letters G, M, Q, QX or FX. No one knows why Infiniti may use letters to name their products. One theory is laid out by then no longer any possible letters should seize the word Infiniti has not been used.

Whether the war as most car names car, and occasional headaches also copy "reasonable" as the case suffixes "lander". The first time it is used on Land Rover Freelander models. Then the Mitsubishi Outlander, the Chevrolet Uplander or the Toyota Highlander. It must, in addition to the prefix that will not bring any vehicles suffix "lander" anymore.
Sometimes naming the car market where it aims to. Specialized in producing Jeep military vehicles should form its first named Liberty (freedom), then the Commander (the commander), Patriot (patriot) or "nature play" rather than the Wrangler (cowboy).Suzuki is focusing on small cars to their product or name as "Swift-Swallow", "Aerio - bird's nest". However, there are exceptions such as the Grand Vitara.
If the tendency to take the first letter of the company, can not fail to mention the Ford Motor. The second largest car company America have products starting with "F" as Fairlane, Falcon, Fiesta, Five Hundred, FreeStar, Freestyle, Frontenac, Fusion and Focus - Ford car's success in Europe and sell in Vietnam in 10/2005.
