[edit] Why the title change?

The article doesn't explain at all, which is bad. I can only guess that it was to avoid any trademark problems with Mercedes-Benz for the film, but an explanation is badly needed in the article itself. At any rate, the book under its original title is still on sale. 81.153.111.37 20:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

According to this article it was changed because they thought the original title would put girls off buying the book. But I don't know where they're quoting from - the same site seems to have interviewed Pullman but that interview doesn't discuss the book. A Google search doesn't throw anything up either. Hmm.
