Car names that didn't translate well in other.... Countries, and had to be renamed ! ::).
Here's one to start it off, unless no-one else adds to it ::) ;D .
Vauxhall Nova = In mexico, roughly translated to "Won't go". Excellent start to a new car model at the time ::)

Mazda MR2 - They are named something else in France as if you say M R du (as they do in France) it sounds the same as Merde which is French for Sh1t ;D

Opel Ascona - may be an urban myth, but I heard ascona is slang in parts of Portugal and Spain for see you next tuesday if you get my meaning :y

Ford Pinto, in portugese it meant small prick ;D
Ford Kuga, in my language it means plague

Hillman Avenger drivers were to be avoided in the 70's, they took their car name literally and got very nasty if you cut them up or overtook them ;)
