Reason for product names?

Sure there is. 

Impalas were for carrying African wild game.
Citations for getting speeding tickets.
Rubicons for crossing rivers (and never coming back).
And Minivans for little Dutchmen.

It's all perfectly logical. Auto companies spend millions
on market research to make sure customers will understand.
Of course that's normal customers not those that read
Shop-Talk.
