Came across his while looking for parts for my EFI 2.0. http://www.spannerfodder.com/the_works_escorts-pinto.php his one hurt! :wow:

Pinto

Strange Fact: Ford had a problem in Brazil when the Pinto flopped. The company found out that Pinto was Brazilian slang for "tiny male genitals". Ford pried all the nameplates off and substituted Corcel, which means horse!

Well.....I wonder if it would have sold better if it was named something that was slang for the opposite.
