The Yamaha Pantryboy, the Honda Life Dunk, the Sbarro Assystem ...and there's more! And I thought the Ford Aspire had a funny name -that was only because I was driving an Achieva at the time. Link -via Digg
Sbarro's makes cars? I thought they just made greasy mall pizza.
Best car names I've seen is 'Pajero', which in many south american country is a word for pleasuring yourself, and the 'Pinto', which in the same south American countries means someone with a very small penis. :)
@ MJ: Yes indeed, in fact the "Pajero" was sold as "Montero" in South America because of that. Also, two other Japanese cars which would give Spanish-speaking people some laughs are the Mazda "Laputa" (literally, "theWhore"), and the Nissan "Moco" (which would mean "Snot" or "Mucus").
Let's not forget the classic Chevy Nova, folks! The automaker couldn't figure out why sales were so poor in spanish-speaking markets. No-Va translates as doesn't go

Isn't it just "Shit"?
Pronounced "Em ar duh", sounding the word Merde?
Another odd one was the Nissan Cedric.
