What does starlet actually mean?


Recommended Posts

"Starlet" kind of makes sense for a car name!

The one that always makes me laugh is the Mitsubishi Starion. Legend has it that when naming them for the west an English-speaking marketing guy was talking to the Japanese guys in the company and said "call one the Colt, and one the Stallion"....

The company guy said (Japanese accent) "Thank you wery much, re rill call them the Colt and Starion!" B)

Not sure if it's true.
