'Ni' from Nippon (aka Japan)
'ssan', in borrowed chinese character writing, means 'produced'
so yeah, nothing fancy about the name Nissan, a very japanese name lol

Never been a fan of the 91 toilet bowl design. It was in my mom's 96 MX-6. I find it a bit too faminine for some reason. Nothing wrong with that. Mainly I didn't like it because it didn't seem to signify anything to do with Mazda.

edit: just caught myself not thinking... they use katakana for a lot of business names. So the fact that it's katakana wouldn't necessarily indicate a domestic or foreign root. Though, I do wonder why they chose to go with maZda in foreign markets... I never found it that hard to say "tsu"...

Huge hole is huge
It all began way back in 1934 when the ‘Mazda’ logo became the registered trademark when production began on Mazda’s three wheel trucks. The name ‘Mazda’ represented a combination of Ahura-Mazda, the name of an ancient Persian god of light, and Mr. Jujiro Matsuda, founder of the Mazda Corporation.
