Pretty good list so far. I'll add that a lot of the JDM nameplates or performance variants have/had pretty cool names. Some favorites:
Honda ____ Type R
Prince/Nissan Skyline / Skyline GT-R
Nissan Fairlady Z
Toyota Century
Nearly every Italian name rolls off the tongue.
They can name something "Spazzatura" (English: Garbage) and it would still sound cool to non-Italian speakers.
But just the fact that there's a word for "a stable of race horses" makes Scuderia in the 430 Scuderia a favorite out of the Italian car names.
And of course, it's hard to dismiss the crowd favorites BMW M1, M3, M5, M6- a letter M for Motorsport and a number for the Series designation, simple, no fluff, looks great as a badge and even sounds kind of masculine, lots of history & pedigree too.
