<div>Actually, here's one (or two) from an American manufacturer. <br>
<br>
Ford made a car called the 'Tempo,' but I believe the model was discontinued. <br>
<br>
(Then there's the ford Taurus, which is clearly derived from our own neo-Riemannian spaces. right?)

What do you all make of the latest trend of Asian car manufacturers naming their cars after musical terms?<br>
<br>
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.)<br>
<br>
Clearly there's a prestige factor associated with music in Asia that doesn't seem to resonate with North American or European makers.<br>
<br>
Have I missed others?<br>
<br>
Wishing you all a pleasant summer!<br>
