Not Sirocco.
If you search for this name in ANY line-up of ANY car maker, you won't find it (in Italiano).

It's named for an animal?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #52 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:36:21 PM »

YES!
Or better, a living creature, smaller than an animal.
Now, before you list them all, remeber a couple of hints:
it's an italian word, never used before, it could be VERY trivial, but it's not.
This means that this name is not that original in another language.

Fungo?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #54 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:52:44 PM »

Nice guess, but not that.
It's named after an insect!

Ragno?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #60 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:59:48 PM »

Not ragno...
These are all very good guesses so far, it won't take much!
Don't forget the right article.

Apis?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #62 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:04:44 PM »

Not Apis...and we call them 'Api', singular 'Ape'...

(BTW: There was the Caprera Ragno and the Zuccoli Formica)

What about Vespa?

woodinsight · « **Reply #64 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:13:58 PM »

Scarabeo?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #65 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:23:04 PM »

Coleottolo?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #66 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:23:08 PM »

Not Vespa or Scarabeo (there was a Vespa 400 and an Osi Scarabeo...)

Coleottolo?

Not Coleottero (I'm sure you meant that

)

Insetto?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #69 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:31:48 PM »

Yes, but which one?

woodinsight · « **Reply #70 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:31:53 PM »

Simply "Bug"?
When I try to translate that into Italian and vice-versa I get "errore di programma"!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #71 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:37:42 PM »

Bug is not an italian word...
...but you are close if you had the 'Buggy' word in mind.
Anyway is not the Italian translation of Bug, but a different insect.

kwgibbs · « **Reply #72 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:43:47 PM »

Passeggino?

woodinsight · « **Reply #73 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:45:44 PM »

Tonchio?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #74 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:47:39 PM »

Locusta?
