Wankel Rotary Engines.

"Wankel" is just one of those words that sounds dirty to me. ;)

Chevy Nova when marketed in Mexico.

In Spanish, "nova" means "no go". Needless to say a car that was labled "the no go" didn't sell all too well :)

Chevy Pinto, when marketed in Brazil. In brazilian, pinto means small you know what. Needless to say, not too many men were eager to buy that car.

Chevy Nova - was supposed to be a big seller in Mexico, but they forgot that Nova loosely translated means "no go" in Spanish.

Fatburger. - why would i want to eat a burger at place called that?
