What’s in a name?
A German anorak must have named the Amarok
Amarok - hunting lone hunters
What’s in a name? A lot if you consider how much energy the car and van makers of this world put into it. The Volkswagen Amarok hits the British van market in 2010 and let’s face it, the name will mean nothing to you unless you’re hot on Inuit mythology - apparently Amarok is a mythological wolf that hunts and devours those stupid enough to hunt alone at night!
So, when you have a spare 5 minutes, stop and think. If you had a brand new van to name, what would you call it? My favourite would be the “Pygmacho stin koursa” - or, if you’re not familiar with the Greek language, quite simply “box on wheels” - I think that the pygmacho could catch on. The “koursa” has perhaps been done by those fine people at Vauxhall.
Have a go - name a van!
