Dunno if you all know this already, but it was mentioned in the Sun today which gave me a little chuckle. Apparently, "Nova" in Spanish means "won't go" 
Perfectly suited.

Great naming, eh? For the same reason, Toyota's MR2 has never been too popular in France because when its name is spoken over there you get [french accent] em-er-deux [/french accent]
Think about it
Also, has anyone ever wondered why Citroen's AX and BX naming system was reversed for the diesels? The upper-level petrol cars were 1.4 TRE, 1.9 TRE etc. So it's no surprise the diesels were called DTR, not TRD (turd)
