Heres something i love to tell JW which nearly always stuns them.
Nobody would buy a car called the Satan, or if its logo was phallic, or was named after Baal, but the facts are nearly all three of these are present in a vast majority of todays cars. As one can examine there are a lot of things present that a good xians should avoid. In many cases there are puns on names, but still.
TOYOTA
Logo - The central phallus is entering the open vagina wrapped in a circle. SEX
SUBARU
The logo is Pleiades ASTROLOGY
VOLVO
The logo is the man or mars symbol and Vulva ^h^h^h volvo. SEX
MAZDA
Pays homage to the sun or good god of Zorarstianism. PAGAN
NISSAN
The astrological connection is the logo, the circle is the Sun going over the horizon with NISSAN or NISAN over it. The sun passover occurs in NISAN. LOGO
FORD
Quite a few are astrological, Orion, Meteor, Laser, Galaxy, Falcon=Partner of Horus, Taurus etc ASTROLOGY

All of us know Ford motor company, don’t you? It is the largest car manufacturer in the world. Ford’s luxury car was known as Mercury. For years people have enjoyed their ride on Mercury. Mercury, who is Mercury? Mercury is none other than Bhudhan, the first planet, closest to the sun. For the Greeks, Mercury is one of their gods. Mercury completes its year in around 72 days and is known as a fast moving planet. Ford’s Mercury is an equally fast car. In other words, the right name for the right car. The fame that Mercury brought to Ford made the other western car manufacturers very unhappy, since all their brands did not move much in the market.
The competitors were puzzled, they wondered what went wrong in their designing, for all their cars had all that mercury had (some of them even had some extra accessories too) Then where had they gone wrong? In the second phase of the 1970s the company Buick launched a new car that went by the name ‘Apollo’, who is Apollo? The Sun is known as Apollo in Greek mythology. Buick borrowed the mantra and tantra trick from Ford (unofficially, of course) and a new car was born that blazed its trail on the streets. Dodge launched a new car by name ‘Aries’. Aries means Meda rasi or the first star sign in western astrology. We all know that this product resembles the star sign, Aries. To compete with Aries, a new car by name of Taurus was launched by Ford. Taurus went on to do very good business in the car market. When the Americans were raring ahead, could the British be far behind? The English launched a new car ’Merkur’ which was the answer to Taurus, Merkur in German is ‘Mercury’. In 1988 Merkur was renamed ‘Scorpio’. Scorpio is yet another star sign of the zodiac. In Indian Astrology, it stands for Viruchigam rasi. To make things more interesting Scorpio happens to be the star sign of Germany too. This renaming was part of the marketing strategy, but a strategy with an astrological bent to it, doesn’t this sound fascinating? Very soon, Ford launched a new car to compete with Scorpio. This new car was none other than Aerostar. Aerostar means Aakash Natchatram. Today we also have a Scorpio on Indian roads which is very good and is standing ahead of others in that area. Chevrolet soon launched a product ‘Astrovan’. Again an astrological name. Everyday we see new cars, but do we know how much of effort and deliberation goes into its making and marketing before it hits the road. We spend lot of time in the RTOs office to get a lucky number for our cars. Now we know that our car is already lucky. The foreigner however smart scientist he may be, is in truth, very superstitious. All these facts points to that conclusion. Today we see Open Astra, with an astrological touch. Maruthi took help of Hanuman, so is lucky like Hanuman, the son of Vayu (the wind). What about Easterners? They are also in the car market. Toyota recently got into this astrological touch by naming their car, Toyota Corona, corona is the centre part of Sun. There are so many things that we do not know, these are some of my observations.
