kind of related to Don Simon's Vauxhall Nogo, an American car name that didn't do very well:
Chevrolet Nova
an American small car aimed at the Mexican market; shame nobody did the research to find out what "no va" means in Spanish.
I understand the Toyota MR2 didn't sell very well in France for similar reasons...

Disappointed Ford never had the balls to call the SportKa the KaSi. It would have gone like stink...
Love the Nissan S Cargo, the name suits it so well.

complete bollards I'm afraid, (same as the Vauxhall Story)
No Va does mean Doesn't go in Spanish, but it's two words, not one as the car name. Strange how GM executives could produce a whole range of spanish language manuals but not do research on a name? Oh, and it made no difference to sales of the car in Mexico.
Just one of those stories.

GM sold the Nova as a Corsa in Spain. I just pointed out it's an amusing name in another language like Mist.

There are many stories, some seem very plausible, of near-misses with names. Where the corporate marketing team were all set to release the product then someone local at the last minute pointed out the issue.
