If you are a car person, you might know that there are a lot
of complications for a car model name in different cities and countries. There
are different names for the same car brand that defines the uniqueness, or in
some cases, similarity, of the cars.
The Ford Lobo and Ford 150 are the conventional car models
driven around the USA. The only difference, Ford Lobo, is famous in Mexico
while the latter is popular in the US. Similarly, Chevrolet Spark is known as
Opel Karl in the UK. These different names play a vital role in shipping the
cars of the same model to a region because of the physical location.
Each of these car’s fashion trends is unique to the location
it is popular in. In Asia and a few parts of Europe, compact cars are more
popular because of the streets and crowded areas. Dodge rebranded its Dart
model to Fiat when being shipped to China as compact cars. The different names
on most of these cars are mostly due to the language barriers in different
countries. If Chevy Nova is brought to a Spanish speaking country, then “nova”
translates to “no go” or “doesn’t go” in Spanish, which wouldn’t be a very keen
selling point of a car.
