"There are plenty of examples that are legally and language wise total catastrophes, like when they launched Honda Jazz in Sweden."
Honda jazz was to be named Honda Fitta in Sweden - "Small on the outside but large on the inside" :smt108 was their slogan.
but the word Fitta is a part of the female anatomy - a very nasty word in swedish.so they hade change the name to honda Fit :smt081

I'm not driving a c*nt-mobile no matter how cheap it is. ;)

hahaha, thats like the MR2 in france is the MRS so you are not driving a Toyota *****

Another stupid thing is how Mitsu Pajero is actually wanker in spanish or the Hyundai Terracan is Russian for Cockroach!

there was a thread on this. Not b*tching, just informing

I did forget to use the search button I am a newbie :)

There are many of those. Like M Technik said, the Mitsubishi Pajero means wanker in spanish, so we have Montero's here. It sounds very odd if you say in spanish "Tengo un Pajero en el garage" It's would be something like "I have a wanker locked in my garage".
Other examples are the Nissan Moco or Mazda Laputa.
Those would be Nissan Bugger and Mazda The Whore.
Nice way to learn foreign lenguages.

We should make a name like this for 'the perfect car'.

The japanese trying to be creative.... :rolleyes:

I'd make some sick joke about, "That's one Honda I wouldn't mind gettin' into"...But that's just tasteless, and silly. =)

lol

Sub I don't get the MRS joke. You've told me before but i've forgotten.
