Just a fun one I thought up while driving on campus this week. Name a car with a place in its name. Doesn't necessarily have to be a specific place.  I'll start:  Chevy Malibu

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

I suppose any car marketed under the Mercury brand has a place (the closest planet to the sun) in its name.

No, US Route 412 was named because they found a trash pile of four chairs and twelve cylindrical oil drums located by a horse ranch.

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

I was going more for the vagueness of the place rather than specifically a keijidousha with that. The only other one I know is the Suzuki Cappuccino, notably the only kei car in Initial D. A few more similarly vague "places" in vehicle names:
Chrysler Town & Country
Ford Country Squire (wagon version of the LTD that ended production in 1991)
Lincoln Town Car
Lincoln Continental
Heck, any Lincoln has a place name in it!
Buick Riviera
There are also a couple low-production JDM Honda Prelude variants that had place names: the Si States in 1990 and the Motegi Edition in the last generation. The Si States had a similar engine to the USDM Si, which was a little less powerful than the B20A used in the normal JDM version. I don't know if the Motegi used the Type-S engine or not.

Don't forget that the Cadillac brand was named after the town in Michigan.

Pontiac Laurentian, for the Laurentian mountain range in Quebec.
Chrysler Cordoba (a city in Spain and a city in Argentina)
Dodge Meadowbrook (for the Dodge brothers family estate, model sold in the early 1950s)

Cadillac Calais!  The lowest level trim full-sized Cadillac carried this name from the 1965 to the 1976 model years.  We had one (a 1966) in my home town someone bought new without a single option.  No power seat, no power windows, no A/C, no radio/rear speaker/power antenna...a very strange Cadillac that one was but it was sure pretty!

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

Takumi

Toyota Avalon
Cadillac Eldorado
Mythical places, but still... (there is an Avalon in CA though)
