Looks quite nice ...... but 'Phideon'??

I guess that word sounds better to the Chinese ear.



I think car manufacturers should give up trying to think of names for cars. Rarely, if ever, does a name sound good to speakers of all languages.

A better idea would be to combine one letter, such as 'A', and one number. Perhaps starting with 1, for the little beginners cars, right up to ... I dunno, let's say 8 ... for proper grown-ups' cars. Who knows, it could catch on.
