January 30, 201214 yr Laredo. And ones named after places in my favorite state---Colorado, Durango, Aspen
January 30, 201214 yr Yukon Monte Carlo Cheyenne (ok, I know it's just a trim level!) Bel Air Savana (though it's not spelled correctly as Savannah) Kodiak Tahoe Sonoma Bonneville
January 30, 201214 yr Lots of examples just from GM: (not an exhaustive list) Acadia Malibu Monte Carlo Bonneville Montana LeMans Yukon Rainier
January 30, 201214 yr Author Well, I don't think Sonoma, Monte Carlo and Bel Air count. Those are cities. Looking for physical geography.
January 30, 201214 yr Laguna Daytona Place-names are geography, Drew. Continental Versailles Edited January 31, 201214 yr by Camino LS6
January 31, 201214 yr New Yorker Nassau Savoy Southhampton St Regis Edited January 31, 201214 yr by balthazar
January 31, 201214 yr Just off the top of my head... Sebring Daytona Eldorado (though it is technically mythical and should be El Dorado) Pontiac is a place... but its not what Pontiac is named after.
January 31, 201214 yr Santa Fe Tucson Veracruz Bavaria (for that matter, BMW) Pacifica Park Avenue Fifth Avenue Monaco Montana Aspen That's about all I got right now...
January 31, 201214 yr Tundra? Savana (though it's not spelled correctly as Savannah) That name was already taken by Mazda: the RX3 was a trim level of the first generation Mazda Savanna (less the H; there were piston-engined versions of the Savanna), and later, it reappeared as the home market fore-name of the first two generations of RX7. (in case you were wondering, the third generation RX7 was called Efini, which is a Japanization of the word infinity; which had previously been a trim level on the FC Savanna RX7.)

January 31, 201214 yr LaCrosse Silverado Scottsdale Palm Beach (GMC motor home trim level) Edited January 31, 201214 yr by Cubical-aka-Moltar
January 31, 201214 yr How about the Buick Somerset? Because when I think of cars, I know the first thing I think of is a large lake community in southern Kentucky.* *although, to be fair, they are the car cruise capitol of KY
January 31, 201214 yr I also seem to recall either a Palm Beach or South Beach trim level on the Grand Marquis as well.
January 31, 201214 yr A few more I thought of ... Tacoma (Why Toyota named that truck after a town in Washington state is curious.) Olympia (More Washington state goodness from Opel. Yes, I am choosing to ignore Greece.) Monaco (Don't know if it's already been listed.) Edited January 31, 201214 yr by black-knight
February 1, 201214 yr One more from Washington State: Rainier Edited February 1, 201214 yr by vonVeezelsnider
February 1, 201214 yr (Renault) Alpine Nearly every Ferrari--Maranello, Modena, Fiorano, Italia, (Super)America... Chevy Monza
February 1, 201214 yr Palm Beach (GMC motor home trim level) Also a Buick LeSabre trim level. Also a Rambler concept car.
