General Motors couldn't understand why their sales of the Chevy Nova model in Latin American was almost zero until somebody informed them that "No Va" in Spanish means "Won't Go".

There's an old story that the Chevy Nova didn't do well in Spanish-speaking countries because "no va" literally means "doesn't go" in Spanish. Not a great name for a car...

It may be an urban legend, though.

McDonald's are ok in China now aren't they?

Obviously U.S.-style McD is different from what Chinese people usually eat
