Well, we know what "Pajero" is Spanish for, don't we? :lol:

Just looked it up......unfortunate name for a car

I see the car was named after the pampas cat (leopardus pajeros), but clearly some numpty executive didnt check.

I had a mate who had a Spanish girlfriend and he told me what it meant years ago!

Goes down in history like the Rolls "Silver Mist" - mist being dung in German, and Vauxhall "Nova" being no go in Spanish. Most car names like the Ford "Mondeo" are very carefully thought up to be totally meaning less in every known language, but having a possible plus.
Coca Cola apparently means "bite he wax tadpole" in one of the Chinese languages.

Actually, thinking about it - it's a pretty unfortunate name for a pampas cat ... I really must get out more.

Did this get resolved?
