Except that in the US the red version is "Lightning Red," so that would be wrong here.

ALWAYS do what the wife wants - believe me, you'll be much happier....

Mmm well the Series.Yellow is a Kouki model, and the Kouki models are only offered in Pure Red so it might be ok

A car has no name.

It does, actually. In OP's case, it's Subaru BRZ.

My car is a white ("Halo") 2016 FRS. So I looked up the Japanese word for Halo and it's Enkou. Or Enkö but since this is an English KB, I go with Enkou.

But Enkou may mean schoolgirl prostitute. Depends on which translation site I use.

If you are 70 to 110 yrs old , you may name your car. It should have a woman's name, ideally one that recalls a magical moment in a far away land with a hooker you met on deployment in the military. Because that's the kind of crazy shit your generation did, I respect it and you are cool.
But if you're younger than 70 yrs old, a named car is just lame and embarrassing.
Until this year, naming his race car was the dumbest thing Sebastian Vettel ever did. Now look at him. If you name your car you will get progressively dumber. That's a fact. Don't do it.
You're welcome.
