SINGAPORE – Given its round, pudgy shape, the BYD Dolphin could have had a more appropriate name – like Penguin or Puffer.
But there is little logic in the way carmakers name their cars. What do Corolla, Civic, Avante, Polo or Miata mean, and what do they have to do with the vehicles bearing their names? Nothing.
