Probably the most unfortunate name chosen for a car, since the nova, given
the number of emissions from the mirai botnet.

There also is the Mitsubishi pajero competing for the crown of unfortunate names (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Pajero for alternative meanings of pajero besides giving a nod to Leopardus pajeros the pampas cat). I guess the Toyota and the Mitsubishe comnpete in different discuplines of unfortunate and hence can both be world champions ;)

“Mirai” simply means “future” in Japanese.  It’s also a reasonably pretty word, with the virtue of not being made up by some focus group.

I assume their marketing team doesn’t pay much attention to the tech press - computer literacy in Japan is surprisingly low.

In Spanish, “no va” means “doesn’t go”.  There are a *lot* of Spanish speakers in the Nova’s target market.
