i thought these huge car companies spent truckloads on quangos to ensure that product names were as universal as possible without any of "sexually transmitted dieseasel"s as mentioned.

They may have thought....

"it's ok, the NHS now call them Sexually Transmitted Infections not Diseases, so we're ok"

However, it'll always be an STD to most people

So, Subaru STi anyone?  ::)

There is, but I'm guessing STTDCi was too much of a mouthful

Oh that's not a good thought- mouthfuls and STd's
