Okay, no goop. How about goopo? Or whould that be gupo?
Shimano names remind me of a cartoon from long ago in Stereo Review. A bunch of marketing types sitting around a table on which sits a single new speaker model.
"How about XT120!!"
"No, let's call it the 1517BZ!"
"Altez 2200!"
"I got it!!! The XY10ZX!!!"
"How about 1510-LXT?"
"We should name it the AB-X!"
