... okay... how much is this going to cost me I'm thinking, as my daughter Rhiannan is asking me something...
I have every right to think this, she's got the Trading Post tonight, and is looking for a Toyota Celica.
"Dad, how come over half of Toyota car models begin with the letter "C"?"
"Don't know" I reply. I am busy reading the
forum.
"
Well, ask them on the
forum!" She says.
So, there you go, why DO Toyota car models mainly begin with the letter "C"?
Cheers
Daughter of Wolfie

I have no idea on the answer, but I can recall some years ago the release of the Mitsubishi (*I think*) Starion. A friend from the motor trade told me that it was *supposed* to be the "Stallion", but the guy handling the advertising/marketing was European and the guy trying to get the name down was Japanese. Hence "Stallion" became "Starion".
As Benny
Hill would say .... " Ry don't you bruddy risten".

LOL!!
Nudie.......... I had to really scrape the bottom of the barrel for those buggers!
Had to try & even the score somehow, but you caught me out........... bugger!
You weren't supposed to come back to this post, the plan was that other people would think Wolfie's intelligent! You've blown my cover!
This thread will self destruct in 10 seconds.......... 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1.... whoa....... still here..........
What if I write a really rude word, then David might delete...........
Bugger.......... I've been caught out.......... you'll keep Nudie!!

Wolfie's daughter here (Dad left himself logged in, tsk tsk).
Call me Wolflet or something.
Carina
Cavaleir
Corolla Seca
Corsa
Cynos.... Just to add a few more.
(PS I got these from the trading post...)
So that's a fair few starting with C, more than any other letter.
Maybe I should just ring some official in Japan and ask him.
Wait... they dont use the letter C in Japanese...
The plot thickens!!!
