Apparently it's a rather embarrassing situation for Hyundai in Portugal. The new Hyundai Kona sounds awfully close to a slang term for, er 'female genetalia'. Spelt Cona the Portuguese are having a good laugh over this...

Well that was quick; Hyundai have confirmed that they will in fact re-name the Kona in some parts of Europe. It will now be called Kauai.

Quite funny but not surprised they've chosen to rename it!
