Will it actually be called the S6?

If so it could completely eliminate it's UK fan base as it sounds so similar to "Essex", the joke of the country.
Reminds me of Chevrolet not understanding that Nova means "doesn't go" in Spanish and not getting why sales were abysmal in Spanish speaking markets.

Look at the bright side - maybe Essex will adopt it with pride. :D

Only if it's orange ;)
One aspect of the Essex stereotype is liberal application of fake tan.

So for example, when a radio comedy show recently ran a "Here is the answer, what is the question?" game, it was suggested that if the answer was "Because their breasts are orange" the question could be "How do you know if a girl is from Essex?"

(The actual question was "Why is the robin redbreast misnamed?", if you want to know).

Hey, I passed my driving test in a Nova. :) ... then GM renamed it Corsa, which means "race" or "racing" in Italian...much better.
