See my post for more details, but the name Vezel was coined from "vehicle" + "bezel". I didn't like the name either at first but it has grown on me and is much more unique than HR-V. I'm not crazy about the letter/number trend for car names at all. Maybe there will be market for JDM nameplates like for Mazda (Axela vs. 3)?Does anyone know what "Vezel" means? If it means something that is really relevant to what the car is about I think I might like it more.
seems like it's an american thing, kind of wish we also had vehicles with names and not just numbers and random lettersSee my post for more details, but the name Vezel was coined from "vehicle" + "bezel".

BMW, Audi, Mercedes... not just american mate...seems like it's an american thing, kind of wish we also had vehicles with names and not just numbers and random letters
I guess for the time it was indeed high riding, compare that to vehicles of today and it may not have a chance"Hi-rider revolutionary vehicle?" Really?
That is quite an egotistical name I would say. I knew it would stand for something, but that just doesn't seem like a very good name. Is it revolutionary? Is it really that hi-riding?
Thankfully most people will never look into the name enough for it to really matter.
Its named urban for the suburbans. For the kitchy symbolism, we all know urbanites share services and complain about public transportation. This vehicle is not for them despite what honda wants to say. Its for the young freshly married suburban couple... >I liked the name "Urban" but it looks more like a suburb car. I was hoping they'd change the name to "The Knish" but lesser minds prevailed.
They have CRV so HRV makes sense too if you don't want to think of a real name for 100 hours straight.
