What is the "Nexus", I keep seeing it written in posts from the last few weeks, but it is a totally new name to me.

I am a regular reader of the posts on this site and the other material in the press and I cannot find the origin of this name, is it simply a new code name for the Medium sized car or will this be the name the car will be marketed as?

horrible thought - it's a bloody daewoo isn't it!

Apparently its the new word for RD60.. basically the same thing apparently. Although just because its on here doesn't make it correct! lol

According to Dictionary.com

NEXUS
# A means of connection; a link or tie: “this nexus between New York's... real-estate investors and its... politicians” (Wall Street Journal).
# A connected series or group.
# The core or center: “The real nexus of the money culture [was] Wall Street” (Bill Barol).

So it kinda makes sense....but it'll always be RD60 to me...

Ha! I thought the same - Daewoo!

My first thought when reading Nexus was the (not so good) Star Wars Generations movie.

 

[SFulcher]

Nexus was in a Star Trek movie (the one where James T Kirk was killed).

Also, it is likely that this will just be the project code for the car, not the final name!

Oh my god... I have written Star Wars Generations :yikes:

It´s surely Star Trek, I should always take the time to read about my writing before I send it. I hope that Episode 3 will be much better as the crappy Star Trek Nemesis.

As in Generations the Nexus is a kind of supernatural anomaly, something like a daydream in which time plays no role, I have the strange feeling that maybe a journalist thought it was funny to put about this name.

Doesnt quite have the same ring as 'Tomcat' if it is a codename.

Still beats Land Crab (even if that wasn't official)
