Acura chose an curious name for their crossover SUV--the
Acura RDX. I believe that the name
"RDX" was chosen to pay homage to the iconic
Ford Pinto.
Lincoln is currently running ads for their MKS luxury sedan. The ads feature a synth-pop cover of Peter Schilling's "Major Tom (Coming Home)". The music suggests that the car has all the high tech features and the performance of a rocket ship (but one would hope with more legroom). Unfortunately, the song also suggests that the car will suffer a catastrophic failure and leave you stranded on a deserted highway where you will eventually die from exposure.
