You Drive a What? #2: Cute Little Booger


Another Japanese car with a Spanish name is the Nissan Moco. Referred to as a "kei" car, which is short for keijidosha (light automobile in Japanese), this is just one of many of these tiny cars that are sold in Japan. What makes the name interesting is that Moco is another name for the Rock Cavy, a fairly large rodent found in Brazil. Moco is also Spanish for mucus.
