Amusing car acronyms

ianobrien · 2006-08-10 18:32:47

Recently, my brother asked me a question "What does "TRD" mean on the back of a car? Does it mean that the car is a Turd?" I was wondering is there any more amusing car acronyms out there (eg Ashtray for Astra, etc)

Subarus "STI" branding always makes me giggle

"Hey, I've got an STI"

Or BMW's old "TDS" badging on its diesel engines

I posted most of the BMW acronyms. Deliberate pre-emptive strike

You forgot this one though:

:eek: I remember the RAF from when I was (very) young, but not the connection with Beamers / Mercs

Bloody hypocrites, the bunch of them, they should have stolen Ladas only. Nothing "Rot" about premium cars from Bavaria
