We've seen massive cars and cars with massive names. However, this one takes the cake when it comes to the best size to name ratio. So, here goes. Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato R, Twin Cam 12 Valve Turbo. I wonder what went through the blokes at Daihatsu's minds when they came up with that name.

  Wow again. One of the 3 cylinders that was popular in the US was in the late 80's to early 90's was the Geo Metro, and after looking that up it was a rebranded Suzuki. But not turbo.

  And certainly no DOHC, yeah? Proudly SOHC.

  @thanatos: if you happened to be in Canadaland, you could at one time have bought a Pontiac Firefly - basically a Geo Metro - with an optional turbo.
  
  To be fair, that was based on the version of the Swift that predated the Geo Metro; those had been sold in the US as the Chevrolet Sprint. But it is technically a relative since they're all Swift-based ?
