I always pictured a board meeting at Mitsubishi trying to name their new car like this.....



"Ok you rot, need name for new sporty car. Something rike Mustang"

"Hmmm, horsey name velly good. How about Starion?"

It's just urban legend. And borderline racist too.

Very borderline as Japanese people when speaking English can sound a bit like that, to be honst if I were speaking Japanese in a slight Cheshire/Manchester accent I could forgive my hosts the odd dig at my pronunciation and not accuse them of being racist, celebrate the difference, sometimes a slight piss take is the way to include people.
