There's a Hyundai car whose name literally means "pussy" in Portuguese and Galician x) It's marketed as something else in those territories.

Hyundai Kona :D

Don't forget the famous Mitsubishi Pajero (wanker)

And Toyota Venza which sound like "toilet seat" in... Japanese, of all languages...

Honda was originally planning to name a model "fitta" before they discovered what it meant for Swedes/Norwegians (same meaning as in your example)
