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...

Tundra? :unsure:

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.)

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

I also seem to recall either a Palm Beach or South Beach trim level on the Grand Marquis as well.

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.)

Nearly every Ferrari--Maranello, Modena, Fiorano, Italia, (Super)America...

Chevy Monza

Palm Beach (GMC motor home trim level)

Also a Buick LeSabre trim level.

Also a Rambler concept car.
