Actually, LaCrosse is French-Canadian slang for pleasuring ones self, which is why we call it the Allure (which isn't really much better, although I suppose it suits the nature of the car better than any sport other than golf).

Probe is an interesting name. Unfortuantly, the rounded shape makes it all to easy to think of the wrong kind of Probe.

The Japanese have some very interesting names in their home market (the Mazda Bongo Friendly comes to mind).
