I mean, it's marketing. And it varies by region.
I own a Mazda6. I'm sorry, are you Japanese? I meant, I own a Mazda Atenza.
Lexus IS200? Did you mean the Toyota Altezza?
Even badging. Is that an Acura NSX or a Honda NSX? A Scion iQ or a Toyota iQ?
It's not just Japanese cars, either. How do you like your Holden Monaro, or should I call it a Pontiac GTO?
Marketing, son.
