Except for the models where they put the name in huge indented letters on the tailgate of hatch like the M A V E R I C K.

So glad I'm not the only one bothered by this one

It's not even a real honda. It's a badge engineered GM.

lol wait what i thought it was a joke spin on prelude, it's real?
well i guess it's still a joke, but honda themselves made it

Yeah, it's their EV crossover that's actually made by GM.

But that's still nothing compared to the huge alphanumeric designators of the olden days:
"Ford Fiesta 1.6 GTI LS 4x4 Sunny Hedgehog Edition"

That didn't even match the designation! I got an "xle" car and was curious what's it meant. You ready for this bullshit? Executive luxury edition! It's the fucking base model! The top end model is called the touring. Like in what world does that make sense‽
