Interesting fact heard on the radio today... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was listening to a quiz show on the radio today and heard the following facts:

Toyota apparently means "bountiful rice"
Honda apparently means "abundant rice field"

So Ricer is the correct term! LOL You learn something new every day.

That's pretty good!

mitsubishi means something like "three diamonds" or something similar to that

Mitsubishi makes the "Montero". In asia, it is called a PAJERO (not sure of the spelling) because Montero means "wanker" or something similar.

that would make sence because mitsubishi's symbol is three diamonds in the shape of a triangle.
