> What do you all make of the latest trend of Asian car manufacturers naming their cars after musical terms?

> We already have Hyundai's "Sonata" and "Accent" (two of my own major areas of research).  Then there's Kia's "Rondo."  And just today I read about a new electric car from China named "Coda."  (I suppose a "Cadence" can't be too far in the future.)

> Clearly there's a prestige factor associated with music in Asia that doesn't seem to resonate with North American or European makers.

> Have I missed others?

> Wishing you all a pleasant summer!
