There was an article on this one in the Times earlier this year, it was followed the next day by a letter on the letters page from a woman who believed they were necessary because her 17 year old daughter had burned herself while ironing her jeans while wearing them!!!

The cars are the best. Aside from SniffPetrol's joke Japanese car names, the other day I came across a car called a Mitsubishi Estima Enema 4WD. I remember a Top Gear article where a Lexus SUV was photographed in downtown Tokyo bearing a rear sunstrip that said 'Off-Road Tough-Boy'
. And as for the Nissan Sunny, Violet, Cherry and so on - what were they thinking?!?!v8thunder said:
