Nissan Cedric

Apparently Cedric sounds good to a Japanese speaker and that reason also accounts for some of the odd names used in the past by Japanese car makers.

Mitsubishi Starrion (all sorts of stories that it should have been "Stallion" but was mis-pronounced by the US Japanese MD and no one dared contradict him!!)

Suzuki Liana (yes my old employer). But who on earth thought up that name for what was a very "ordinary" car. Try spelling Liana backwards and you will see what fun the press had!

The UK NIssan 200SX was called the Fairlady in Japan.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
