Matsu****a came up with the Panasonic name when they entered the US

hurt sales because it didn't look or sound "American"
Why didn't they use National, a brand name they had already been using
in the rest of the world, including Japan? Was it because the National
boy looked too much like Bob's Big Boy?
Too downmarket I think.
