Automotive Toponyms are cars are named after a geographic location. Many are named after a place you'd never see them, ever. We discuss them all. And make fun of most of them.

In this episode of The Carmudgeon Show, Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Hyphen-Scott discuss a comprehensive list of automotive toponyms!

But first, an update on some of the boys' cars: Derek's R129 Mercedes 500SL finally has rebuilt hydraulic cylinders — and a functioning roof. Jason's W201 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 has had a rearview mirror blowout. Jason decides he hates his Scirocco after working on the interior for a few hours — and then dropped it off at the body shop to have its frame measured for straightness because he still loves it. Derek's Citroën still doesn't run. Jason signed up for an autocross in his Lotus Elise SC and can't decide whether to run the Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 3+ tires, or put the original Yokohamas back on.

But then - they got to the subject at hand: Cars named after places!

And we made a comprehensive list of every car named after a place. Over 100 of them! Here they are.
