    Funny, in the US I just saw a car that was an “SS” model and I thought “Huh, apparently SS doesn’t immediately scream Nazis to Americans” (SS => Super Sport apparently, to Chevrolet)

      Yeah, the nazi secret police is still the first thing that comes to mind when most Americans hear/see “SS” without context.
