I've heard the Chevrolet Nova sold poorly in South America because "Nova" in Spanish means "won't go." I don't know if this story is true or not, but it's fun! :p
The way I heard it it's because it didn't have a large enough trunk or “booty" as the Brits might call it.

We call the trunk of cars the boot.
Booty is also a rear end - but not necessarily of cars! As in KC and the Sunshine Bands 'Shake Your Booty'.
There may be some connection though.:)
