Bad Product Names Faux-Pas

[Deleted member 35268]

The new Tesla TRUCK (not sports car) is called the "Semi"

Perhaps it is no accident.

Anyone got any other bad product names or brands that spring to mind.

The MR2 in France was pronounced "Merde"...

The Pajero was renamed for Spain, as in local vernacular it describes a J. Arthur Ranker.

And who can forget Aids slimming pills?

It wasn't called the MR2 in France, for precisely that reason.

See also: Nova in Spain.

The new Tesla sports car is called the "Semi"

It's a truck. In the rest of the english speaking world, semi mean artic. Semitrailer. Australians pronounce it sem-ee, USAsians sem-eye. It's just the word everyone uses for articulated lorries.
