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.
