new maverick doesn't bother me name wise. I've owned 2 mavericks, a 72 and a 75. Both hot rods, and a few smaller rangers over the years (which was also a re used name fwiw). I would have bought a new Maverick IF it had a full sized, at least length, bed. they def lost me there.
How about kawasaki reusing the H2 name? the originals were a derivative of the H series, and they literally just regurgitated it for the new one with zero lineage aside from it being fast for the time. Doesn't bother me much and i have owned a few 'original' h2's over the years.
