The article “I’d Like to Buy a Vowel, Drivers Say” (USA Today, Au gust 7, 2001) speculates that young people prefer automobile names that consist of just numbers and/or letters that do not form a word

(such as Hyundai’s XG300, Mazda’s 626, and BMW’s 325i). The article goes on to state that Hyundai had planned to identify the car that was eventually marketed as the XG300 with the name Concerto, until they determined that consumers hated it and that they thought XG300 sounded more “technical” and deserving of a higher price.
