What’s always seemed so strange to me is how common the amount of vehicles that steal indigenous names from various places.
Cherokee (car and a plane)
Comanche
Tacoma
Cheyenne
Dakota
Taos
Pontiac (entire company)
Winnebago
Touareg
Indian (motorcycles)
Aztek
Chieftain
Star Chief
Super Chief
Thunderbird
Chief
Scout
Dark Horse
Qashqai
Oroch
Black Hawk
Chinook
Apache
These are all brand names, names of cars, motorhomes, motorcycles, military vehicles, etc. Apparently decades ago, the manufacturers didn’t even shy from how these were named, and there were a lot of questionable ads.
