It’s from when Hyundai was going to merge with Ferrari. That deal fell through but they kept the motif.

Honda still uses the 1988 logo on the motorcycles, while the next one went to cars.

Nah, that’s docking.

I was at a rental car place in California some years back, and the girl at the counter said my car would be a “Hyonda Ascent”. I thought okay, great, it’s some model I don’t recognize but it’s a Honda so cool.

You still get these people that say “Honday”, as if to say “all Asian cars are the same to me”

So Saturn failed because its 2 rings represented only 2 of those three values? Then Audi should be winning with 4 rings?

It’s that the Toyota logo contains all the letters in “Toyota:”

“In 1990, Toyota debuted the three overlapping Ellipses logo on American vehicles. The Toyota Ellipses symbolize the unification of the hearts of our customers and the heart of Toyota products. The background space represents Toyota’s technological advancement and the boundless opportunities ahead.” 

I believe the teens call it “sword fighting”

Have you ever heard of the term docking? And I’m not talking about boats.

In that case, what exactly is going on in the Honda logo?

The “Hyundai Handy” was probably one of their small KDM trucks.

Wow, I didn’t know that. When it first came out, I thought they were kinda creatively borrowing from the Honda logo (and from my personal “baseless conspiracy theory dept” I thought Honda gave them a nice pay-back when they “borrowed” the tailights for the Honda Accord from the 2009-2011 Genesis sedan).

Well, can’t unsee that.

Actually in the original idea one guy was shaking something other than the guys hand. However it was deemed too dirty.

Also, the Toyota logo is apparently not a sombrero. The three rings represent......something.

Mercury 115 tower of power?

Isn’t that what you just wrote?

The Chrysler Slant 6?

You must mean the Leaning Tower of Power™... :)
