Ahhh... the old “Repmobile’ class wars...think it was called incentives.
( Actually... that would make a good model name)

Ford Focus Incentive...

Ah you are perhaps thinking of the BMW 3 "employee of the month" car?

I used to work at a place where each month the best performing sales person got the Mercedes S class for their company car the following month and the worse performing got the skoda fabia. The boss said it worked a treat. Nobody ever wanted to be bottom and get the Fabia.

Don't know about manufacturer name.

But I wish models were named what they are, e.g. "hatchback" instead of "golf".

And I wish specs were just a few standard predefined specs, like "budget spec", "popular spec", "top spec".

VW Hatchback Top Spec.

simples.

You mean like FORD did with the "popular plus" that everyone called poverty plus?

o and don't get me started on prices.

1. go to vauxhall websites, click cars>electric
it says "corsa from 17k"
this is a lie, straight-up false advertising. an electric corsa is not 17k.

2. click on the corsa
again it says 17k

3. click on electric
now it says from 26k

4. click on build and price
now it says rrp 30k - 33.5k
but otr 24.5k - 27k

what a cluster****

Company I worked for used VW T5’s, but took out the rear set of seats.
Sales...They could spec it, depending on their sales performance.
One year, a chap had a really good time & spec’d his replacement accordingly.
Had a really hot summer... shame he hadn’t included AC.
(Very uncomfortable & sticky salesman)

In this high tech era I would use words from the fields of astronomy and electronics to name the company and car model to grab the imagination of potential buyers.

Manufacturer: Uranus
Model Name: Hertz





(Dilbert readers will already know this one).
