Don't all cars have long names?

VW Up is pretty short... But the model selection is just random.
Take-UP
Move-Up
Up- Beats. (They can't even keep the words in the same order)
High-Up
E-Up.

And that's not counting all the bizarre seasonal special editions. BlueMotion Tech, Club Up, Groove Up, Look Up, Rock Up, Street Up, Up Black, Up White... It's just a case of ******** baffles brains to charge you more. They all play the same game.

I don’t think “beats up” would be the best car name, to be fair!

You do realise this was actually a thing, right? When it was launched, there was a White Up! and a Black Up!
VW ended up reversing the name, for obvious reasons..

I have a picture of one from a Frankfurt Motorshow when it was launched, but can't find it.

I was behind a Hyundai Santa Fe the other day, and it did have a rather long name, laid out in four separate sets of chrome lettering, but what caught my eye was that they were all in different typefaces.
