- I have a simple, innocent question. Why do so many Americans insist on
- calling it a GTi rather than a GTI? I know that in Great Britain, it's a
- GTi. As far as I know, that's true *only* in Great Britain -- or is it also
- true in the rest of Europe?
-
- I've never seen anyone in the US calling the Rabbit a "Golf", or referring to
- the Jetta as a "Vento", nobody used "Passat" when talking about the Quantum.
- Why is there this odd loyalty to the British name of the GTI?
