Top 5 Unlucky Car Names

I know that most of you have met many of the cars I’ll describe in few words, but I guess you have never thought on them the way I’m about to talk. Well, you will be surprised to see that big car producers like: Mazda, Mitsubishi, Chevrolet, etc. are named very weird.
Let’s find out our order!
No.1 Buick LaCrosse- I know that reading the name, many of you don’t understand the meaning, but in French, this means “masturbating teenagers”. Great, isn’t so?

No.2 Mazda LaPuta- I don’t have to explain too much, because most of you know that this means in Spanish “the whore”.

No.3 Nissan Moco means in Spanish “booger”. Yeach, that’s too ugly!

No.4 Mitsubishi Pajero- I just love this car, but do you knows what that means? Well, in Spanish is “wanker”. :)

No.5 Opel Ascona is an old car, but Ascona, in Portugal (and in Spain, too) means “female genitalia”. Interesting names, don’t you think?

    Should also be mentioned that the Honda Fit/Honda Jazz was intended to be named Honda Fitta, in Norway (my home country) and sweden, Fitta is a slang term for “female genitalia” and that’s the reason why they changed the name in the last minute.

    What about the Chevy Nova?
    No Va means “Doesn’t Go” (loosely) in Spanish.
