From the official Skoda Storyboard

ENYAQ expresses both power and efficiency. What’s the story behind the new SUV’s name?

ŠKODA SUVs have traditionally had names ending in the letter Q, and the new ŠKODA ENYAQ follows this tradition like the KAMIQ, KAROQ and KODIAQ models. But the new model’s first letter shows that this tradition is merging with the eMobility era, referenced by the letter E at the beginning of the name.

The name ENYAQ encapsulates the character of the new model. It is derived from the Irish name ENYA, which means “source of life”, which itself expresses the power of the ŠKODA ENYAQ that goes hand in hand with the temperament of an electric SUV and the passion for innovation that produced the new model. The Irish name Enya has even deeper roots in the language. It comes from the original Irish word eithne, which can be translated as “essence”, “spirit” or “principle”. These various meanings add broader resonance to the new model’s name. The Irish origin of the name also carries on the tradition of inspiration from rugged corners of the earth. The ŠKODA KAMIQ, KAROQ and KODIAQ models were inspired by the language of the Inuit living in Greenland and Canada, and the names for ŠKODA’s MEB-platform electric models will also be drawn from northerly regions.

Did you get that Perhaps the marketing folk dont realise just how uncurious the buying public are about the names of cars.
Here's the word in real life!

International Rescues' radio code "F-A-B", meaning "message received and understood", didn't stand for anything, it was just supposed to sound "hip". In fact, when asked what it stood for, Gerry Anderson once replied, with some bemusement, "Fab," as though it were obvious.

I've seen Ford badges with different coloured backgrounds and wonder if those are specials too? I've seen both black and red ones...

I can picture those too, maybe as variations to the normal blue Oval on special editions/ sporty offerings....this is a bit of a retro-style one that never was on the original Ford Popular, but "popular" enough to be manufactured.

A fake Clubman that claims to be a Cooper S. What a travesty

Would this be more to Sir's taste? Today's co-incidental rare spot and shutter clicks by yours truly.

You may have to forensically examine some other images splattered elsewhere around the threads to establish whether this is indeed a genuine article. It is from a "D-Reg" i.e. 1966 Mini, and the DVLA recognise it as a Mini Cooper S Mk1.
