[SOLVED] Renamed Brands?

Need the names of some brands that were renamed because they meant something different in other countries. I know that the Snickers chocolate used to be called Marathon, but I dont think it meant something rude in another country.
It would be great if you could post links of evidence too!
Answer #1
Here are some car names
Ford Fiera � In Spanish-speaking Latin American countries Fiera means �ugly old woman�.
Chevrolet Nova � In Spanish �no va� means �it won�t go�. To get around this, in Latin American countries the Nova was renamed Caribe. In Spain it was sold as the Corsa.
Ford Pinto � When Ford decided to market the Pinto in Brazil they had to perform a hasty name change. Because in Brazil the word �pinto� is a nickname for the male member.
Toyota MR2 � Who could be offended by MR2? Well the French it would seem. When spoken, �MR2″ would be pronounced �me-re-de�. Or in other words s**t. Toyota�s practical solution. Remove the 2 from all French-market cars.
Mazda Laputa � In Spanish �La puta� means �The Prostitute�.
VW Jetta � In Italian the letter J is rarely used. Meaning that in some dialects, especially near Naples, the name is pronounced �Letta�. And that translates as �throw away�.
Mitsubishi Pajero � In Spain the Pajero is sold as the Montero. Pajero in Spanish is a crude word for masturbation.
Buick LaCrosse � The car is being renamed in Canada, and that�s because in the area around Quebec lacrosse is a slang word for self pleasure.
Honda Fitta � In Scandinavian countries the Honda Fitta was hastily renamed after the company found out they�d effectivley named their car the Honda c**t.
Nissan Moco � In Spanish �moco� means �mucus�.
Opel Ascona � In Galician, a language spoken in the north of Spain, �ascona� translates as a lady�s private area.
Rolls Royce Silver Mist � Almost! Rolls Royce dodged a bullet by renaming the Silver Mist to the Silver Shadow just before launch. In Germany �mist� means �manure�.

Thanks mate
Answer #3
Snickers was only called Marathon in Ireland and UK and it wasn’t because of the meaning of the word…
In 1930 Mars introduced Snickers, named after the favorite horse of the Mars family. The Snickers candy bar consists of nougat, peanuts and caramel with a chocolate coating. The bar was marketed under the name "Marathon" in the UK and Ireland until July 19, 1990, when Mars decided to align the UK product with the global Snickers name (Mars had marketed and discontinued an unrelated bar named Marathon in the United States during the 1970s).
