The Japanese mania for cute product names may have gone too far:
Toyota Motor Corp [sic] said Wednesday it would recall more than 1.35 million Vitz and two other models globally to fix a defect in the seatbelt, a component in the exhaust system or both. Subject to the recall in Japan are 525,898 Vitz, Belta and Ractis cars built from January 2005 to April 2008, Toyota said in a filing with the transport ministry. Vitz on the fritz! Pelta the Belta! Ractis needs practice! Is Toyota starting to morph into the GM of Japan?
