My favorite car name mishap doesn't even involve i18n. Hyundai Sonata was introduced in 1985 and was a reasonably popular model... ...until the next year someone realized that "sona ta" is a Korean expression meaning "Only a cow would ride that." In Korean characters, the car is now spelled "Ssonata".
