Another car thread:GM forced to rename the Buick "Masturbator" in Canada

Headline from Fark

"It's game over for the Buick LaCrosse in Canada. A General Motors executive yesterday admitted that the future Buick model -- which is set to debut late next year -- will be re-named in Canada after GM learned LaCrosse is a Quebec slang term for masturbation."

12. GM had to rename the Nova for Mexico and Latin America markets

As "no va," in Spanish, means "it won't go."
