MoYu actually calls this the WeiLong v2 (威龙二代), the real one. The previous "WeiLong v2" was actually called the WeiLong-Enhanced or WeiLong+ in Chinese.

I'm just wondering how American cube stores will market this (WeiLong v2? v3? v4 since the AoLong was called v3 by a lot of people? but then it'd be v5 since there's the AoLong v2 which was supposed to be AoLong+ anyway not v2 ok bye I'm gonna stop typing).

Exactly, yes !
this is suppose to be the version 2.. like why would ppl just assume the enchanced version is the v2 .. so confusing

because it is technically different version, there is something different, it can be addition of another piece, or a change in construction, however designers themselves probably don't regard this as a major version change, since it is probably not hard to change in the cad. The designers probably only regard a major version change when they really alter the shape from the base design.

oh, and another reason, we've been doing this since a couple years ago, when the guhong+ come out, everyone just called it guhong v2 or guhong 2

That's not misleading. It is a new version. Enhanced is more misleading actually. They're implying they improved it (which they didn't)
I would not say misleading. most cubes coming out now are not arbitrarily better or worse than others. Thus to say a cube is better or "enhanced" is a matter of opinion and they were expressing their opinion in the name of the cube. Would they release a new cube and call it the worse version?
