Did you know that some cars bear different names in other countries as against what we call them in Nigeria?

The major reason is, car manufacturers won’t use a name that would compromise their car sales in any country. For example, Mitsubishi “Pajero” ended up as Mitsubishi “Montero” in some countries because it means “Wanker = To Masturbate” in spanish.

See the cars below…

 





1. Toyota Highlander is Toyota Kluger in Australia and Japan

 

2. Ford Escape is Ford Kuga in South Africa

 

3. Honda Accord is Proton Perdana in Malaysia

4. Honda Civic is Acura CSX in Canada

 





5. Lexus RX 300/330/350 is Toyota Harrier in Japan
