Well, that's an interesting fact. (thanks !)

Oddly enough, it seems to be the Americans who "demand" a name on their cars while Europe is content with numbers and letters. LOL

North America wasn't happy driving Toyota's so the company made luxury versions and called them LEXUS and just marketed them against BMW, etc. (Luxury EXport United States)

That's how the story goes anyway...
