I agree with you....also note though that not only Americans have Lazy Tongues....GM does too since they have stampted "Chevy" on to hubcaps and also named cars like the "Chevy II". I am sure there are more examples but it's more than a little absurd for Chevy to even think "Chevy" isn't appropriate when they themselves have branded vehicles with it.
