Sometimes that's why cars have different names in different countries, or why they SHOULD have been renamed.
Chevy had a real hard time selling the Nova in Mexico... I guess they were clueless.
Ford wasn't allowed to use the name Sierra because GM held the US copyright. They had to call it the Merkur XR4ti.
Datsun was smart enough to rename their new sports car in the early '70s - How many guys do you think would have bought a car called the "FairLady".
I never knew why VW used different names in the US...
Golf = Rabbit
Passat = Dasher then Quantum, or something like that.
