Hyundai iED

The company that I currently work for is planning on this vehicle:

Road & Track Hyundai Passo Corto

Hyundai Passo Corto by IED Torino





What do you think?

Let's hope that "IED" is not used as part of the name. While it might be a blast, I think the name would bomb.

iED is actually in Italy where they design cars in Europe.
It's the same place that has designed the Ducati, Ferrari and Piaggio.

Yes, ok IED is in Italy, that is all well and good, but you have to look at where you are marketing the cars as well.

Does anybody remember when Chevy reintroduced the Nova in the 90's? Then they tried to sell it in Mexico, and sales were horrible? Then some genius figured out that "No Va" in Spanish means "It won't go"
See what I mean?

Again, fine, use IED in Italy, call it the "Little Happy Tree car" here in the US

How about the "X1000"
granted it kinda sounds like a dirtbike or liquid metal terminator but it is way better than IED
