ayam not understandin... why d name changes bt same brand mk
Main reason is cos of branding..

Other reason is as op depicted, the name could mean other things in the local dialet of the host country or community.

Just as the no 9. Aristo. That name won't make people buy the vehicle here in Nigeria even if it meets up with their needs, specs and budget.

AutoJoshNG:
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 “self-servicer = To Masturbate” in spanish.

In some cases different manufacturers pull resources together to produce the same car. This saves cost especially research cost.

See the cars below…

1. Toyota Highlander is Toyota Kluger in Australia and Japan

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

6. Toyota Rav4 is Toyota Vanguard in Japan

7. Toyota Camry is Toyota Aurion in Australia

8. Chevrolet Aveo is called Holden Barina in Australia

9. Lexus GS 300 is Toyota Aristo in Canada and Japan

10. Infiniti M35 is Nissan Fuga in Japan

Do you know any other, don't forget to add it in the comment section..

Politics › Reno Omokri's Post About Ladies' Virginity Got Him Slammed By Twitter User by Abbeyme(op): 11:08am On Feb 16, 2017
Dear Nairalanders,

It appears since the advent of the administration of Donald Trump in the United States, the battle ground for the war of words on Twitter has intensified.

A Twitter user recently shades Reno Omokri over his views about the virginity of daughters and marriage.

See Pix after cut :


Isn't that dope: Our daughters ain't products.


For me - lesson learnt : Choose your words carefully.
Read it to yourself. Take yourself out of the writeup and read again. Be balanced.
