May 4, 200521 yr comment_42326 It's Toyota in Japanese. And if you ever get any Toyota touch-up paint (I think every new car gets a little can, but don't quote me), it's got the same logo (surprisingly). Report
May 4, 200521 yr Author comment_42328 oh. ok. weird. i always thought it stood for something. toyota in japanese eh. Report
May 4, 200521 yr comment_42330 Yep. And did you know that back in the day, Toyota used to be Toyoda. However they changed it because it sounded better and the Japanese writing of Toyota (the image you showed) looks better than that of Toyoda (supposedly). Report

No need. It definitely means Toyota. If you want to check, I'm pretty sure it was the current issue of Wheels that has it in there. I think it's got an Adventra and a Territory on the cover. Report
