Car nicknames

[SpikeyBush]

Years ago before manufacture of these models were shifted abroad, the company car park consisted of the Ford Sierra (Dagenham Dustbin) and Vauxhall Cavalier (Luton Lavatory). Any other derogatory terms spring to mind for these or others?

Good suggestions.
My son, who hates Hyundais with a vengeance, cites the Hyundai Accident and Hyundai Tragic as certainties. I can't repeat his version of Hyundai's Coupe here as AB's filth recognition software would change it to something else.

The VW Beetle was called Hitler's Revenge and used one of his most trusted tools. The gas chamber.

The bug has an air cooled engine so there is no hot water for the heater like in most cars. So they used air heated by the exhaust system.

If the exhaust developed a leak then exhaust fumes would leak into the car. Later models introduced an alloy sealing layer to prevent this.

Skoda convertibles were always known as ' skips'.
