Japanese cars tend to be given quirky names for the Japanese domestic
market. Some we've seen over the years: Datsun Fairlady (240Z to us),
Bluebird (510), Cherry (F10). Daihatsu Charade. But then many Japanese
products have quirky home-market names: Meltykiss (chocolate candy),
Volume Up Water (aftershave).
