    I'll give you a hint. Nobody would ever guess what the Pajero really means.

    heehee. My Spanish uncle thought he was mistaken when he first saw a Pajero. hehe. When I asked him why he was so surprised with the vehicle's name he said that it was too embarrassing to tell but eventually I convinced him and he said that it was choking the bishop. AT least we pronounce it as paJero and not pahero like the Spanish nasty word.

    I remember this debate over how the Pajero should be pronounced. My girl cousins would say 'Pahero yan!' then we boys would counter with a vengeance na 'PA-JE-RO!!'. We would go on and on hehehe.

    Your uncle is right. It pronounce "Pa'herou" on pajero since this word is a spanish origin name after Leopardus Pajeros, its a Colocolo pampas Cat.

    This is the PA'HEROU (Pajero)

    [SIZE=2]The pampas cat ranges along the south-western area (but not on the coast) of South America, in the countries of Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Argentina and Patagonia.[/SIZE]

    how about the Audi TT? can it be included in the list? it's not obvious when you look how it was spelled, but only when you say it

    i guess its safe to add Chery to this list. Aside from the fact that it sounds like a fruit, it also sounds like the kinda car that is for the girls only.

    dialogue:

    Guy1 : "Pare, balita ko may SUV ka na rin ngaun, makakasabay ka na sa Everest ko. Ano ba SUV mo? Fortuner nga ba?"

    Guy2 : "Chery, Pare."

    Guy1 : "...."
