Without the numbers, you have no idea which one’s better at a glance (which is why they’re retracting the “other” 4080).

And “Bonum”… are you sure?

The problem with the numbers is that we expect them to have some meaning. There's no inherent ordering between maxima/altima/sentra but if you are shopping for Nissan cars you figure it out. If you are spending a couple thousand dollars on something you shouldn't pick at a glance, you should look at the specs.

Bonum -- apparently that's the latin word for good? I dunno I just dropped words into google translate and then hacked off letters at random to fit the pattern. I'm sure they can come up with better fake words.
