Re: NAIAS 08: Toyota A-Bat
I know how they named this:
Designer 1: "Hey look, ive come up with a design for a new truck...type...thing....but it needs a name." Designer 2: "Holy god thats ugly...what the heck do you do with something like that?" Designer 3 surfing the net, takes a glance: "Geez....I'd hit it......" Designer 2: "You'd hit it??" Designer 3: "Yeah I'd hit it...." <other 2 looks at each other dumbfounded> Designer 3 " ....with....a Bat" Designer 2: "A bat?" Designer 3: "You know, a baseball bat" Designer 1: "A bat....abat....A-BAT!!!! MAN YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!" Toyota management guy comes into the conversation and looks at the truck: "...." Designer 1: "Oh uh....sir, i present to you, the Toyota ABAT" Toyota management guy: "IT SELL MEERREONS!!! PUT ON DISPRAY AT AUTO SHOW!!!"

Re: NAIAS 08: Toyota A-Bat
The sad part is that no matter how ugly it is, as long as it has a sombrero on the grille, people will buy it!

Midgate-The use of a trademarked name hints to a deal. Maybe they are paying a royalty for the use of the design. A-Bat - To me, this means AUQUABATS! A great band! www.theaquabats.com |

Imperial called from the dead. They want their steering wheel back.
