Impalas aren't what you'd call very common even in the US. It's sort of a sub-brand of Chevy that is only one model car.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Impala

And it's pronounced differently (im-PAW-la vs im-PALE-r) but since the joke is in text instead of spoken it works IMO.

Regardless, "impale" wasn't in my vocabulary, so I didn't know what to think of the image in question.

Not only that, but I doubt that anyone would make the connection who didn't also know about the historical/legendary title referred to.

I know the history (after all, it was his nickname for what he did) and the fact that in spanish "impaler" is "empalador", quite similar, made is easier to understand.

@Rol_ Just for curiosity, how is "impaler" in german? Is it that different that you didn't recognize or guess the word?

it's "Vlad, der Pfähler" in german

Thanks. More difficult to relate one to another.
