How on Gods Green Earth does "Integra" follow suit with TEG? Is it a Japanese Thingy? Thanks for the rapid response.

I have no idea. h: Logic dictates some other contraction.
AFAIK, there is no foreign influence that lead to the choice of "Teg."

Most people don't worry about these things. I don't.

Oh, I forgot.

:cheers: Welcome to HAN.

Well, people say things like "ATM machine" and "VIN Number" and other redundant phrases. So I guess this communal brain-fart fits right in. :chuckles:

But this is a car forum, not a semantics and elocution website. (Thank God.)
