Yes, I know that. Just recently I talked with a friend about just that unfortunate naming decision by NextStep. I also didn't want to directly critique the site owner.
I just thought it might make sense to draw some awareness to the issue because non-German speakers have practically no chance of knowing about this pitfall. It's kind of similar to the Chevy Nova situation.

- peterwwillis 13y agoFunny how they repeated that mistake with the next generation. Called the MR-S in Japan, you could see how it could be shortened to "Mrs." in English, comparing the car to something a mother or wife might drive. So they named it MR2 Spyder in US and MR2 Roadster in EU.
