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.
