Talk:Honda Fit/Archive 1

Just to note a bit of clarification on a comment left in the history page: "Keeping article name Jazz is Eurocentric"

The name Jazz is not used only in Europe. It is used in all of the countries that Honda operates in outside of Japan, China, and the Western Hemisphere. That means it is used in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia (except China and Japan), Australia, and New Zealand.

It was supposed to be called the "Fitta" in Europe. Which made the Norwegian importer spill his morning coffee, probably, as it's rather crude slang for female genitalia. More than just being a slightly amusing story, it also illustrates the rather real problems associated with trying to find new words for a whole planet that does not already mean something, as it were, unfitting.
This is a much less offensive way of explaining the definition than the rather blunt term used in the article - any objections to a minor rephrasing? TunaSunrise 03:25, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
