QOTD: What's The Best Animal/Insect Name For A Car?
We've been having fun with galleries lately, and the past few have centered around the animal world.
Lots of cars have been named after cats, bugs, fish, and more. I ask of you, which is the best one?
For the purposes of this question, it can be a make or a model.
I don't know if I have a fave. The Mercury Cougar sounds good, but "Cougar" is such a common name for sports mascots, and other products, and well, there's another usage I won't go into here.
Of course, I've always liked the Ford Mustang as a car, so maybe that wins by default.
Your turn. You know what to do. Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
