There's an apocryphal story about brand names:
The Japanese had just designed and produced another automobile and it was set to go except for a name.

Here's one that's NOT apocryphal: Back in the late sixties Toyota produced a car for the US market they called "Sprinter." With the Japanese difficulty with "R" and "L" differentiation, it sounded as though they had a car named for a wood sliver.
