Can you tell us more about this slang word, tied to the Chevy Nova not doing well in Latin American countries, that no one seems to know about?

Curious...
Hi,

I'm just relating what a friend of mine in Mexico told me - about the slang and the car. He said there's too much Machismo for guys to buy a Car named P*ssy. While my Spanish is passing, I'm not well versed in the use of it's local slang, but he's born and raised, longtime friend and I don't think he was BSing me...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
