They probably also think it sounds cool... like how they call Mx5's Miatas just because they're called that in other places

Out of curiosity.

Far less cool is what the French call the MR2.

My driver's seat is AP1 but my passenger seat is AP2. Major handling imbalance you know.

Let me guess; like an AP1 with a larger area under the torque curve and a lower peak?
