On paper the Honda e:Ny1 feels like a stable crossover for Europe and its denser growth. It appears to be like to be concerning the measurement of a Honda HR-V, so it shouldn’t be too massive to park. It’s electrical, so you may drive it in zones that don’t enable inside combustion engine automobiles. And whereas the styling is a brand new route for Honda, it’s nonetheless acquainted sufficient that it’s recognizable.

The specs aren’t game-changing, however they’re nonetheless stable. It’s front-wheel drive, makes 201 hp and 228 lb-ft of torque, has a 68.8-kWh battery that ought to give it 256 miles of vary and might cost from 10 to 80 % in about 45 minutes. And in case you’re into massive screens, it’s received a 15.1-inch vertical touchscreen.

However oh man. That identify. Why? Why did Honda should go together with an incomprehensible mishmash of letters and numbers with random capitalization and punctuation? We are able to work with hyphens though I’d slightly not. However colons don’t belong in automobile names. How do you even pronounce the identify? Ee en why one? Eenie one? Anybody? I’m positive it stands for one thing, however I can’t be bothered to go discover that data, and I doubt anybody else needs to, both.

I used to think the Toyota bZ4X had the dumbest car name of all time. It’s like something Elon Musk would name one of his (What are we up to now? 80?) children. And I hate that I know it supposedly stands for Beyond Zero all-wheel-drive crossover. Or maybe it doesn’t. It’s so hard to care about names like this. Especially when there’s no real pattern to how things are capitalized.

It’s also hard to type because no one can remember what’s capitalized and what isn’t. It’s a problem that only affects journalists and copywriters, but it’s a problem that affects me personally, and since I’m already complaining, I might as well share all of my complaints.

But I was wrong. The bZ4X doesn’t have the worst car name. It’s now the Honda e:Ny1. On the positive side, it’s doubtful that the e:Ny1 is going to come to the U.S., so at least I probably won’t ever have to review it.
