My mums last car was a 2020 Kia Stonic, 2 tone grey and orange, really liked it.

I could never own a car that rhymes with colonic.

Apparently the name is supposed to be a blend of Style and Iconic.

That's what happens when you let someone for whom English is not a firpst language name your car.

The Hyundai group have formnfor this. Years back the new Hyundai Atos was announced to dealers. Staff were aghast and tried to explain what "a toss" was in the UK, but it fell on deaf ears. In desperation one staff member drew a sketch of someone having a toss and faxed it to the HQ in Korea. 10 minutes later the name as was changed to Atoz instead.

Thankfully thr Kia Creampie was never sold in the UK.
