This is genius. I have to wonder what would happen if your car broke down. Toyota Corolla of Zelda or Hyundai Excel of Zelda doesn’t exactly have the same ring to it.
I think I know what my next car is going to be!

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 9:31 PMIn the mid-late 20th century, Xenophobia + Japanese cars had a reputation for being of inferior quality to American ones (yes yes, I know). So to market their cars to American buyers, many Japanese automakers re-badged their cars to make them more palatable to American buyers. Hence Honda > Acura, Nissan > Infiniti, Toyota > Lexus, Mazda > Eunos.
Obviously some of these labels became the marquee brands for their parent companies internationally (eg. Lexus), but you do get cases like this where the same car gets either Honda or Acura badge depending on region.
