Naming a car after a wild animal, makes sense. You see it as more adventurous and as something that does not conform. This theory works really well for the Ford Puma, Jaguar and at a push can be stretched to include the VW Fox.
When it comes to naming cars after insects, then you are largely naming a car after animals people don't like or are scared by. Think of Miss Muffet driving a Ferrari Spider! A VW Beetle it could be argued is named because it is small and can travel at great speed, and to be honest the naming has not done them any harm.
Animals car makers probably want to avoid include those in the insect and bug world such as cockroach or head lice. Mammal wise I think it will be a long time before we see people driving a Beaver or cruising the streets in the Pot Bellied Pig.
