      VW has a history of naming their cars after nature phenomenons. The Scirocco, Passat, Bora and Vento are all named after winds.

      Their recent model names are a bit more “creative”, with the Tiguan being a combination of Tiger and Leguan (iguana) lmao

        Chrysler had a series of cloud cars. Stratus, cirrus and… Breeze. They ran out of clouds and took a wind.
