I think thats just an urban myth. Obviously there were some Spanish speaking people in Latin America who would have pointed out to GM that No Va would be literally translated as "doesn't go" in Spanish.[/b]
No, it's not a myth - I've studied that case in several business, advertising, and marketing classes.

How about:
Duster
Pinto
Golf
Prius

And all these cars that are just numbers/letters, come on - a little imagination please BMW, Audi, Lexus, Jaguar, Mercedes, and Volvo. :rolleyes: At least some manufacturers add a name after a number - Ferarri 360 Modena, Porsche 911 Carrera, etc.
