Oh yeah, I drove a Ford Fiesta occasionally at my last job. I called it the Hot Rod Lincoln. (That song came on the radio while I drove it for the first time)
I like your thinking!
Technically yes, but because it’s a convertible and carries a Northstar engine, I see it more as “Allante, Part II”, rather than a Corvette/Cadillac hybrid.

Trabant = Cardboard donkey
VW Beetle = Froggie
VW Transporter T1/T2 = Cake roll
VW Passat B5 = Hunchback
Audi 80 = Barrel/Bell pepper
BMW E30: =Teddy bear
BMW E36 = Kitten (apparently, from a true story about the mascot of a service garage, a ginger kitten, that fell asleep in the boot of a customer’s beemer, and no one noticed until the owner got back home with the car.)
Mercedes W110/111 - Swallow tail
Mercedes W114/115 = Horse nose
Mercedes W123 = Cobra (Ceaușescu had one with a cobra badge at the back, the badge of the company that made the bulletproof panels and windows for the car, or so the legend says)
Mercedes S-Class W140 = Whale
any non-classic Audi, BMW or Mercedes = Cocamobile (Chavmobile)
any Peugeot = Pe jos (on foot, as in: you’ll be walking back home)
Renault Laguna = La gunoi (take it out with the trash)

Oooooh! Anyway…
About the only one I have is calling the RX-7 and RX-8 “Buzzbox” because, well, rotary engines have that iconic sound. And it’s not meant as an insult. It’s just something I’ve done.
An insult I have towards cars, however, is “trash can”. Any pickup truck with the bed filled up with random useless scrap is a trash can.

i would only refer to the FB, Rotary Pickup, and RX-3/4/5’s as the buzzbox. the turbo of the FC onwards deadens it, and the RX-8 is more refined IMO
I call Rotary Mazdas “Dremels” because they sound like rotary tools to me… at least the off-brand tool I have.
I call any Subaru a “Subi”. Sounds cute to me.
“Mitsu” or “Mitsubitchy” for Mitsubishi.
My uncle calls the Mitsubishi Eclipse the Mitsubishi Collapse.
Chevrolet HHR: Homo Hot Rod

I just call Toyota Priuses “prees” (spelt Prii) and that’s about it. I also call Subarus “subies”.
