Get your act together, Volkswagen

The naming of cars is an important and serious business. The sort of thing that pushes Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear buddies to the realms of ecstasy. Which is why I wonder about the sanity of those in charge at car manufacturer Volkswagen. It seems they name their models by picking nouns that look interesting out of a foreign language (i.e. English) dictionary.

They are so random in their selection.

For example, there's:

• the one named after a dog-related wild animal, (Fox/Lupo), 
• the pair named after hit-ball-with-stick games (Polo/Golf), 
• the one named after a wind (Sirocco), 
• the one named after a spelling mistake (Passat), 
• the one named after an Essex girl (Sharan) 

and a couple that are so boring I can't even remember what they're called.

Come on, Volkswagen. You can do better than this. A five-year-old can do better than this...
