Mitsubishi's Evo X?

[Jay]

Queer
adj. queer·er, queer·est
1. Deviating from the expected or normal; strange: a queer situation.
2. Odd or unconventional.

Good call.

And what does that disprove about him not using the word queer? If he wanted it to mean that definition, he had plenty of other words to choose from that weren't offensive at all...

 

[Jay]

Maybe he likes to live on the edge

Personally I think Evos upto the VI looked like carictatures (sp) and were begining to look a little silly. They now seem very outdated.

IMO, the VII was too tame looking while the VIII is just about perfect. Its good to see the EVO X is going in a different direction. Its not going to look as outragous as the drawing, just taking the design cues from it.

How do see a Evolution 10 before 9? Thats BS... Another wasted thread.

You've got the 2004 Astom Martin DB7, then the 2005 DB9, oh, wait? Where's the DB8? Then again, you're talking about a Ford

 

[The359]

"8" looks too much like "B", so they skipped it. They same reason Chrysler skipped "I" in their 300 series, because it looked too much like the car would be a "3001" instead of a "300I".

That or it is rumored the AMV8 Vantage will be called the DB8.

I believe "i" is a trademark of BMW.
Could be wrong..

 

[Dave A]

Yes but that doesn't change the fact that it's not used by other companies because it can look like a 1.

BTW... i just saw the July issue of Motor Trend has that same rendition of the Evo but's it's cited as the Evo IX not X.

I'd bet it's not actually trademarked by BMW, since it merely denotes a car with fuel injection. Not all BMWs have had it, obviously. Besides, what about Apple's "i"s

 

[ExBrock]

Apple computers don't really relate to the automotive industry, or anything for that matter.

rofl.

I love answering that I'm gay from time to time when people ask me how I am.

Could have sworn the DB8 existed...

What about the Toyota "i"

How about VW Golf GTi

or Fords XR3i

or Peugeots XSi

etc etc

 

[yeti]

Or the Mistubishi 'i' concept car you get in Prologue? (Stupid POS!!)

[phantasm]

the trademark is most likely on the entire model name... ie 330i not just the i part. Although lots of car companies have come out with similar model names... GTR, GTO, etc

My mistake thats what I meant.

 

[DevilGTx]

can't trademark a letter, unless it is used as an icon, so then the symbol itself would be trademarked, but not the letter.
