Question Statement :

Auto manufacturers have often seen that a car model name that works well in one country must be modified to have success in another. Ford launched a car in Europe named Kuga, which means 'plague' in Croatian and Serbian. Mitsubishi produced an off-road vehicle called the Pajero, an offensive term in some Spanish-speaking countries. The Honda Fitta had to be renamed to the Honda Jazz for the Nordic market because fitta is a profane word in Nordic languages. One car that didn't have to be renamed? The Chevy Nova. Contrary to popular belief, the word nova is not easily confused with the words no va (doesn't go) in Spanish because they are pronounced differently, with stress on different syllables. General Motors reported that the Nova actually surpassed its expectations for sales in Spanish-speaking markets such as  Venezuela.
