The Japanese surely did not think of double checking the meaning in this case.
Abflug is, as Allemano noted, not something really positive.

It means "departure" on airports, but has a rather negative connotation. "den Abflug machen" means something like "to buzz off".

But the Japanese just love stupid names, don't they?
What about the Pantry Boy?  Just who would drive a car called a Pantry Boy?!

Abflug Mure (1995). A styling study (mockup). The name comes from Abflug President Masamichi Uwabo's initials "MU" plus "Revolfe". Abflug built this car as a means of relieving the stress of styling using production models as a base and as a way to demonstrate the company's creativity and high level of skill. Displayed at the 1995 Tokyo Auto Salon
