" b) One of the things I know about American automobiles is that they will use a
" name for many consecutive models that really aren't the same car. See:
" Corvette.
" 
" To be fair, b) applies to the Renault 4, at least, since it underwent major
" redesign in its lifetime that really made it a new model with the old name.
" 
" But on the whole, European car makers are more prone to retire a car's name or
" number with major design overhauls.

i like this more-honest approach.  american industry tries to
profit from the emotional capital accumulated by previous, unrelated
badge-holders.  witness the mustang and mustang II...
