Nissan Cedric
Much heart-searching, and money, goes into naming a new car. Manufacturers often try to be very clever, and as a result some pretty strange titles have appeared over the years.
Even if one ignores the various names that mean something very rude in another language, there are still plenty of manic monikers to choose from...
This smart executive-looking Mercedes-style saloon was produced by Nissan for its home market in Japan - so why call it the Nissan Cedric?
Reputedly the name was inspired by the main character in the novel 'Little Lord Fauntleroy" and the car, still made today, once had a sister called the Gloria!
