"snot" according to my dictionary But maybe there is another meaning? (though that this one is already funny) -- Last edit: 2008-06-17 16:11:15 |

The Nissan Serena was unpopular in Germany. The name was a reason, too. "Serena" is a favourite ladies sanitary towel. Rolls-Royce once has thought about a "Silver Mist". After they've heard the German meaning of "Mist" (animal's shit, also used in the meaning of "bullshit"), they dropped their idea. -- Last edit: 2008-06-17 16:53:56 |

Really? i hadnt heard of that before, i think that if i start thinking about it, i may get many car names that mean something in Spanish, not necessarily something bad, but just random things. |

Citroën Pallas, Mercury Caliente and Mitsubishi Pajero are well known examples... |

Another is the Opel Corsa (A), which was to have been called Nova like its Vauxhall equivalent. (In Spanish, no va means it doesn't go.) -- Last edit: 2008-06-17 18:20:18 |

Is there really a car called the Laputa? |
◊ 2008-06-17 18:43 |
When the Honda was going to introduce the Honda Fit in europe they wanted to call it Honda Fitta, the swedish office explained that "fitta" means "cunt" in Swedish and the name was changed to Jazz. |

Yeap, there is! http://www.cars-directory.net/pictures/mazda/laputa/pic_mazda_laputa_9919.jpg |

Do you know what Pajero means? |
◊ 2008-06-17 19:07 |
Wikipedia says that the Mazda Laputa was named in reference to Gulliver's Travels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_Laputa But, since it's a Japanese car, it could equally be referring to Miyazaki's film Laputa: Castle in the Sky. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laputa:_Castle_in_the_Sky |

I guess it's related to 'making a straw to oneself' ¿no? -- Last edit: 2008-06-17 19:14:53 |

Yes You wrote it well in Spanish too by the way. -- Last edit: 2008-06-17 19:16:03 |

One would be a Pallas if one is Caliente and doesn't know what Pajero means -- Last edit: 2008-06-17 19:22:00 |

What is Pallas in Spanish? |

Sounds likes "pajas", in some pronunciation. Pajas = masturbation (vulgar). |

That's actually a Nissan Lafesta. It's way too big and too square to be a supermini. -- Last edit: 2023-02-04 04:16:05 |
