Default Starion might have been a typo?

Not sure if this was posted before, but I found a site about urban legends that explains how the starion came to be:

theres some other funny stuff there too.

On the other hand, given that at the same time Mitsubishi brought out the Starion they also introduced a model with the rather unfortunate name of "Pajero" (a word which in Spanish is a slang term for someone who enjoys pleasuring himself, prompting Mitsubishi to judiciously rename the car the "Montero" in some markets), it's sometimes hard to believe they don't operate this way.
That's funny.
