due to its name, the chevy nova did not sell very well in mexico and spain. roughly translated, the words 'no' and 'va' together mean 'it doesnt go' in spanish.

On a similar note, the ford Fiera did not sell in Mexico/Spain because the name meant "Ugly Old Woman" in Spanish. I don't remember the seller, but there was one car called the Pinto that did not sell in Mexico/Spain. Literally, the name means "Small Horse," but the name was also Spanish slang for "Small P*n*s"

Among unusually named cars exported from Japan into English speaking countries:

Daihatsu Town Cube

Mazda Proceed Marvie

Izusu Giga 20 Light Dump

Subaru Mysterious Utility Wizard

Over the course of Invader Zim, series creator Jhonen Vasquez gave the voice actors various stuffed toys which looked like those found in the series, such as a stuffed pig doll that resembled the rubber pigs from Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy and the squeaky moose doll from Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain.
