Hey! As the title say, there is some exemples:

Opel/Vauxhall "Corsa" : Corsa = Race in Italian.

Ford Fiesta: Fiesta = "party", "holiday" or "festival" in Spanish, hard to say which acceptation of the term Henry Ford II had in mind when he chose the name.

This seems to belong more in offtopic or something.

 

A little known fact about the Kia Cee'd: the 'd at the end stands for "the interior is made of cheap ass mcdonald's tray plastic that will be cracked and rotted in 10 years time"

A mustang is a type of wild horse in, I think, America. The mustangs are notoriously fast, sporty, and rare. So, mustang, being an American company that enjoys naming cars after things or places, chose that ass the name for their famous muscle car...

Chevy "Aveo", Aveo means crave or refers to something you want in Latin.

 

As for the Mustang, the answer is actually... BOTH - The plane and the horse:

R.H. Bob Maguire, my boss, and I were looking through a list of names for the car. I had been reading about the P-51 Mustang airplane and suggested the name Mustang in remembrance of the P-51, but Bob thought the name as associated with the airplane was too ‘airplaney’ and rejected that idea. I again suggested the same name Mustang, but this time with a horse association because it seemed more romantic. He agreed and we together selected that name right on the spot, and that’s how it got its name.

From “Mustang Genesis: The Creation of the Pony Car” by Robert A. Fria

 

And... Since the airplane likely got its name.... from the horse... Well...
