Where I was grew up “redeye” was any flight that landed in the middle of the night or too early in the morning for rational humans. Like “I’m comin’ in on the redeye from LA”. Brown-eye was the other one you described.

Brown-eye was, as you say, another euphemism for butthole. However, I do recall clearly from my childhood that redeye was also used. Perhaps it was regional slang and not something that made it to your neck of the woods?

Although I hate to admit such, a Google search suggests you are all correct.
And the bad thing is, none of the meanings would seem to be a flattering reference to a model of a high performance automobile.

Really weird they would name a car after a redeye as frankly any version doesnt promote good thoughts...

This somewhat shocked me, the A10 SS and V-6 get slightly worse fuel economy in the City
