        I was asking why it’s Fuchs (German) and Lynx (English/Latin)? And not Fuchs and Luchs or Fox and Lynx? Probably some marketing intern concluded that Fuchs needs a German name…

          I think it’s the other way around, Lynx was designed and marketed with the (current) international market in mind, so an english name makes sense, while the Fuchs is older, much closer to the Leopard and Gepard.
