LOL, thanks for that Jamie! I did think for a moment that I was in
for a lecture on the *importance* of branding ;-).
I hope it's nice and sunny in Fort Myers, 'cos it's pretty cold and
foggy here in East Anglia :<(.

...and why do makers of cars, motorbikes and cameras insist on making
up truly daft names for the US market? They are doing it in this
country now (e.g. VW Phaeton, Touareg; Skoda Superb)

Chris: Car names are just like everything else where branding is more
important than the product itself. Remember the Ford Expire, errr Aspire,
and the Hyundai Effluent ,errr Affluent? Personally, I can't wait to get
my hands on an all-new Belchfire Roustbouquet 8 with stereophonic hubcaps
and power ashtrays!!
