Pedazo sometimes has negative implications.
Ese coche es un pedazo. Ayer tuve problemas con las bujias, y hoy las llantas. Pedazo can mean . Piece of --(fill in the blanks).

Hi Poli,
In sp the meaning is the opposite. Un pedazo de coche=a really good car Synonyms: trozo, cacho. Last edited by Planet hopper; October 23, 2008 at 06:42 AM. |

Plannet Hopper , How you say that a piece of car is a good car in Spanish, at least it I understood you.
Que quieres decir con un buen carro?

Sorry, crotalito, but it's true.
Un buen carro= sounds very informal here but possible Un pedazo de coche=an excellent car Really, just to help, you can find pedazo used with any noun: Un pedazo de casa=a great house Un pedazo de hombre=a real man |

It must be one of those idiosyncrasies where the meaning is opposite of the literal meaning of the word, such as saying something is "baaaaaad" here in the US. Depending on the context and your tone of voice, it means something is really nice.
