fiat punto? lol
Most women don't understand our devotion for our cars, lol. I'd rather order from the dollar menu a couple times to get my 240 some better plug wires, lol.
You'll find we have no problem taking a plethea of pictures.
And I have no clue why manufacturers name their cars different names in different parts of the world. In Canada the MX3 was called the mazda Precedia. Who knows.

actually about the name thing, i think it's b/c (and don't quote me on this) the appeal oif the name in different areas. i can't remember where, but i think i read somewhere about different names appeal to the different civilizations. for instance, the sc400 in america with it's abreviations and big numbers (and most people that buy it have no clue what the use for the name is) are what a lot of people into the luxury type of cars like, but in japan it's the soarer b/c that's what the population supposedly likes.

usually, automakers just rebadge their luxury and performance models to appeal to us snooty yankees ("$50,000 for a Toyota??? are u crazy?? ohhhh, $50,000 for a Lexus?? that's reasonable"

if i have a car, i shouldn't have to be concerned w/the walk (btw, i realize that it's probably something more like "the path", but my logic sounds funnier)...
