I agree with Onward/stevo - replace but with Yet


good idea :cool:


yet

–adverb
1.at the present time; now: Don't go yet. Are they here yet?
2.up to a particular time; thus far: They had not yet come.
3.in the time still remaining; before all is done: There is yet time.
4.from the preceding time; as previously; still: He came here on a vacation 20 years ago, and he is here yet.
5.in addition; again: The mail brought yet another reply.
6.moreover: I've never read it nor yet intend to.
7.even; still (used to emphasize a comparative): a yet milder tone; yet greater power.
8.though the case be such; nevertheless: strange and yet very true.
–conjunction
9.though; still; nevertheless: It is good, yet it could be improved.



but

-conjunction
1.on the contrary; yet: My brother went, but I did not.
2.except; save: She was so overcome with grief she could do nothing but weep.
3.unless; if not; except that (fol. by a clause, often with that expressed): Nothing would do but that I should come in.
4.without the circumstance that: It never rains but it pours.
5.otherwise than: There is no hope but by prayer.
6.that (used esp. after doubt, deny, etc., with a negative): I don't doubt but he will do it.
7.who not; that not: No leaders worthy of the name ever existed but they were optimists.
8.(used as an intensifier to introduce an exclamatory expression): But she's beautiful!
9.Informal. than: It no sooner started raining but it stopped.
–preposition
10.with the exception of; except; save: No one replied but me.
–adverb
11.only; just: There is but one God.

A branding mistake, a contradiction in a very childlike way, almost as if English is not the owners first language, he should do him/herself a favour and choose another one. It reminds me of a sign I once saw in Athens ' Genuine antiques, made on the premises '


My personal favorite non native English labeling was on a model Subaru WRX which called the car "Super Friction Car Mighty Vehicle" :lol: (Japan)
