Welcome To Mistranslation

When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova (1975 model pictured above) in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means in Spanish basically "it won't go". After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets the Caribe. |
