Some vehicles blow away the…

In some instances the car’s name may simply be a cultural mistake, what sounds right in the native tongue, but translates badly elsewhere. We can’t always say for certain why a manufacturer would choose a particular (bad) name, but we can identify some of the worst car names of all times and the history behind those models. 1…
