What's wrong with Canyonaro?

The Qashqai people were nomadic tribes people who arrived in Iran in the 11/12th centuries. Obviously some bod at Nissan chanced upon this piece of trivia on Wikipedia (errrr same as me actually...)and decided that their new compact SUV was suitably 'nomdish' to warrant being called The Qashqai (try spelling it even when you're LOOKING at the word is difficult!)I'm sure Nissan were hoping that the Qashqai's would be rolling off the production line easier than the name rolls off the tongue...Anyway, despite their best efforts to put off potential buyers off with this baffling moniker this TVC redresses the balance by actually being pretty darn cool....
