Thanks for the link kitted. Interesting info.



But about this one I'm not sure:

FERRARI

That's not a prancing horse, it's a dancing donkey - Enzo was hung like one and he liked everyone to know. No, no - just a joke. In fact, the prancing horse was originally the emblem of Italian WWI flying ace Francesco Baracca, whose parents persuaded Ferrari to adopt the symbol of their late son for his racing Alfas.

From what I know the prancing horse was Enzo's brother military unit emblem.

Negative. It was the fighter pilots'. He was good friends with Enzo, and he used it on his cars when racing for Alfa Romeo.

Although Mitsubishi has only been in the UK for 25 years, it built its first car in 1917. The company itself goes back to 1870, when it built its first ships - the three diamonds represent a ship's propellers.

Hmm...

Ditto for the Acura emblem. And while i'm at it, how bout the GMC badge. Hmmmm...

[imtheoneandonlyD]

yeah A-cura, H-onda, and GMC are hard ones to get a handle on....someone should figure those out.

[KustmAce]

How about the Sterling symbol? Or certainly the Maybach emblem...

Probably got that impression because of the Southern Cross, which is 5 stars visible in the southern hemisphere, used on Oz and NZ flags. Looks very similar to those in the Suby badge.
