I'd say half of the people (maybe even more) in Toronto still refer to the cars at the Molson "Indy" - it's just what they're used to what people know. Even when I'm explaining what kind of racing I like to follow, I still find myself having to say "Like Indycars, but..." Some people have heard of Cart - as it's been the term since 1996 onward, but I have yet to come across anyone outside of the racing circles that knows what a Champcar is.
