You mean like Mercedes Benz model designations? When Japanese cars are sold in the home market they have names like, Bluebird, Leopard, Presidential. The aphanumerics are for western markets.

I agree. The japanese are usually expert in those anonymous letter + number names. I really hate those Canon F-1, AE-1, AT-1 and A-1 names. Why not remove the number 1 when there never was a No.2? Also, MZ-5, 7, 60, 30 etc. Awful stuff.
