In Spanish it means 'No go'

Ford Probe-is that a proctologist's car?

Datsun had to be changed-I can't remember what it meant-a weather disaster of some sort
On Edit: The Aspire-it aspires to be a vehicle.

4. Isn't there a new SUV called the "Tribeca"?
So what ever happened to driving "off road" over rugged, hilly terrain, crushing small animals and causing catastrophic soil erosion all at the same time? Wasn't that the whole point of SUVs?

What does "Tribeca" mean anyway, other than ridiculously trendy and horribly over-priced? I guess it's an aspirational thing. If you don't have the wherewithal to spend a few millions on a converted loft downtown, you can at least blow 50K or more on another useless new gas-guzzler!

5. The Suzuki Esteem
It was a pitiable little underpowered car but the name made it sound even wimpier than it was.
