Personally, I think the main reason that car manufacturers inject new blood into existing lines, they are running out of names. Maybe I am off base, but it can't be too long before it happens. When I was a kid, cars had cool sounding names and were all about horse power and getting 12 FT to the gallon. That is how you made it directly to third base. Not that I know anything about that. I drove a 69 Plymouth Valiant, that would make you swallow your retainer when I opened her up. (See that, that there is car talk).
All the cool names are gone. So I suggest moving toward medical terminology. The Ford Glaucoma or the Toyota Tetanus. Those are cars I would drive. Or use accounting terms. The Honda Amortization sounds way better than the Honda Fit. The Amortization sounds like it dominates other cars, the Fit sounds like Richard Simmons made it. This is not when all the Fit owners threaten me. I know they are good cars, they just could have taken more than 10 minutes to name it. Imagine if it was named the Honda Capitalize or the Macroeconomic. It doesn't change the car, just gives it a cool name. Don't be mad, I'm in the same boat. I have a Scion Xb, that I really wish was called the Viagra.
