Petition VW to name its next car Alizée

[Jake04]

It seems like Volkswagen has a penchant for naming its cars after wind.

Scirocco - Hot North African desert wind that blows into Italy.
Golf - Gulf stream winds (a high altitude North-south 100 mmph wind)
Jetta - Jet stream (East/West wind, affecting Pacific air travel)
Passat - Trade winds
Vento - Blowing/windy (E/I)
Polo - Polar winds
Santana - Hot desert blast accross the Sea of Cortez.
Corrado - The VW Corrado Club of Great Britain say it's Spanish for wind
current or Jet Stream. Corrado is derived from the Spanish
verb Correr, which means to Run or to Sprint. The prototype
however, was given the less impressive name of the Typhoon

So, may be we can suggest to them to name its next car "Alizée" (L'alizé" which we all know is a French word for "Trade Wind")

Yeah that's a cool idea but I don't think Alizée is a good name for a VW car.

Here in Europe there is already a Renault car with that name...

If VW names a car Alizée, it better look like one of these...

[Jake04]

Or this one....



VW owns Porsche too. So, may be one of the Porsche's models.

If VW were to name a car after Zée, I'd only accept a new special edition Veyron

To think that there was an AOM plane named Alizee a long time ago... looks like they repainted it before she became famous.



She's talented in many ways after all

VW makes the engine, the rest of the car is made in france as a tribute to the Le Mans champion Pierre Veyron , bugatti is not the same as VW guys ! They veyrons are made a few miles away from my hometown close to strasbourg : o
