AutomobilemanufacturersintheUnitedStateshavemadeseveralnotoriousadvertisingmistakesthathavebeenwellpublicized.GeneralMotorslearnedacostlylessonwhenitintroduceditsChevroletNovatothePuertoRicanmarket.Although"nova"means"star"inSpanish,whenitisspoken,itsoundslike"nova"whichmeans"itdoesn'tgo."Fewpeoplewantedtobuyacarwiththatmeaning.WhenGMchangedthenametoCaribe,salespickedupdramatically.Fordalsoranintotroublewiththenameofoneofitsproducts.Whenitintroducedalow-costtruckcalledthe"Fiera"intoSpanishspeakingcountries,Forddidn'trealizeuntiltoolatethatthenamemeant"uglyoldwoman"inSpanish.AnotherAmericanautomanufacturermadeamistakewhenittranslateditsVenezuelanadforacarbattery.ItwasnosurprisewhenVenezuelancustomersdidn'twanttobuyabatterythatwasadvertisedasbeing"highlyoverrated."
