CAR NAME THEMES
Theme Movement/Navigation
The quintessential name Caravan
Getting you from point A to point B. Is there a more obvious and appropriate message to communicate about a car? Probably not. Which is why so many car manufacturers have chosen car names that speak to transportation, exploration and navigation. And while the message may be straightforward, the names themselves are often very exciting, and even aspirational (couldn't find "Transporta" anywhere, and we looked pretty hard!). Trailblazer, Pilot, Pathfinder, Voyager, Paseo, Airwave - these are just a few examples of the highly communicative yet creative names that comprise this category.
For the record, Caravan is one of our all-time favorite car names, and a perfect example of smart naming. It's a car. It's a van. It's a caravan. It's a CARAVAN. We'd let you steer a naming project anytime, Dodge.
