There was a UK also a brand called Swift who build cars in Coventry from 1900 - 1931.

Swan car

 

Is that the world-renowned Swanley Swanless?

Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon in Japanese)

 

 

Proof that the Japanese do have a sense of humour as the Hayabusa's (bird) main prey is of course the Blackbird:

You mean the Suzuki Swift isn't named after a slightly crap AEC bus chassis from the 60s? What a disappointment.

Slightly crap? You meant TOTAL SHITE! A mate has one, and he has to do the head gasket at least once a year!

Surely an Aston Martin is a small, swallow like bird from the centre of Birmingham.
