In the list of bad marketing ideas, you forgot the Nova. Chevy thought it would go over big in Mexico, but the name means "no go" in Spanish.

that's actually just something that spanish teachers love to tell students in high school to demonstrate the importance of learning spanish.
i've had teachers in car/materials classes say that the nova did reasonably well in spanish speaking markets. turns out most of them knew it was named after that little astronomical term "nova" and not "no go" which is two words, "no va".
now what your saying could still be true of course. I'm just saying i've come across differant sources suggesting that it's false.
on rathergood.... i really like mango biscuits and the laibach kittens for some reason. yet i find that most of the stuff on the site (90%) is just outright annoying.
