Brand names unfortunate
Mazda Laputa
Laputa is a type of car manufactured by Mazda and is a clone of the Suzuki Kei. Was introduced in 1999, redesigned in 2001 and withdrawn from sale in 2006. The name is no accident, comes from the book "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift, although Spanish is not a word that sounds great. Too bad it has not been marketed in Spain, as the slogans have been most curious.

Lamborghini Reventón
The Reventón is a model of car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini from 2007 and which have been produced only 20 units. Its price is around one million euros and its design is similar to a F22. Named after the bull that killed matador Felix in 1943 to Guzman, but is rather unfortunate for a car that reaches 340 km / h.

Mitsubishi Pajero
The Pajero is a SUV model manufactured by Mitsubishi, whose prototype was first introduced in 1973 and offered for sale in 1982. Its name was changed to Montero in Spanish-speaking countries and the United States because in Spanish stands for masturbating jerk.

Palma Peña
Curious to say the least the name of this company that makes fire extinguishers, whose name means "People die" so colloquial.

AMD Palomino
In May 2001, AMD released the third revision of the Athlon processor, known as key "Palomino". Its features include increased speed by 10% compared to an Athlon Thunderbird, the inclusion of SSE instruction set from Intel as well as the 3DNow! AMD's own. But still suffering the same problem as its predecessors, the dissipation of heat, causing them to heat up too. Another small detail that failed to consider its creators are the different meanings in Spanish the name of your processor:
-Chicken of the pigeon.
-Person awkward or silly.
Stain-stool in the underwear.

Rabobank
Rabobank is a Dutch bank founded in 1972 and found mainly in the Netherlands, but also have branches in other countries. They also have their own professional cycling team with the same name. Although the "tail" in Spanish does not sound very good for the name of a bank, the entity has changed its name in Spanish speaking countries in which it is located.
