Nah, trust me when I say Japan is another world for many things. I stopped asking why, it makes sense to them or it just sounds good and that’s the way it is.

There are two marques thatused the ISIS nameplate.

A Morris Isis was made in the 30s, and the name was revived in the 50s.

Japanese car names basically take Euro-sounding words and sounds and mash them together, regardless of whether they actually exist.
