I am begging automakers to stop putting classic sports car names on gigantic electric SUVs. Use literally any other names.

I think this is mainly a ford thing, isn't it?

Ford is the worst offender (and more specifically the one who does electric SUVs) but the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Dodge Hornet are gas/hybrid SUVs that reused nameplates from sportier coupes on an SUV. I suspect the Honda Prologue might’ve been the Prelude at some point but that’s just a guess. At least that one didn’t get a reused name.

Honda is releasing a new Prelude soon too, so probably was Prologue all along
