What’s in a name? Tiguan

VW TiguanIt’s been difficult to avoid adverts for the new VW – the Tiguan. Now, I know names for cars are tough to come up with, but Tiguan!?!?

Apparently, it’s a mix of the words ‘tiger’ and ‘iguana’, which, I suppose makes sense, although I’m not sure why you’d want to name half a car after a type of tropical lizard.

Why didn’t they just call it a Car-meleon?
