    Daihatsu had a car called the Naked, and there was a Subaru Legacy model called the Touring Bruce. It was named after Bruce Willis.

    Cayenne is actually a town in French Guyana (it's the local Préfecture), the spice's name comes from the town.


    The Toyota MR2 as a funny name if you speak French, MR2 can be pronounced "merde" (shit).
    The car was subsequently renamed MR for the French market (and maybe in other French-speaking countries).

    We pronounce it che-vie. It's the Opel Astra in other countries. There's a tuning shop here in Queretaro que specializes in them.

    The older Nissan Sentra was sold here in Mexico as the Tsuru (su-ru), I have no idea what that means, Japanese name I guess.
