Imagine if Nintendo or someone named their next ground breaking console "Mirai".
I'm not saying they can't, just that the word dates whatever it's attached to immediately

Mirai is a test vehicle. My guess is they are planning to move the more recognizable nameplates to hfcv and retire the Mirai name until the next big thing. It's actually brilliant because now they own that name for a car. If fuel cells/ vehicles are successful, which I am certain they will be, it's a great marketing move to get people on board with the next big technology shift.
But I suppose they could have did what Ford did and name their first bev cuv after their muscle car, which is named after a plane which is named after an even older transportation technology...
