Never criticise Australia Post. One day they might find out where you live.

Dear Pug,
That would make the answer "Ford" & "Hyundai" - the only two out of the bunch that have oval emblems, as opposed to straight-out circular ones...
Now, where's my lollies?...
Best Wishes,

Ford and Toyota are named after the founders of the companies. (Toyoda simplified to Toyota).

Dear Pug!
Noooo!...
The odd ones out are actually Holden and Volkswagon - the only brands to have the Circles, compared to the rest, that are all actually Ovals...
Can I still please have at least one lolly...
Best Wishes,
Batpig.

I thought it was Toyota and Hyundai, because they're the only one with a y in the name.

Dear Pug,
In all honesty, I owe at least one of my lollies to a snippet I read in "Wheels" magazine many years ago - around the time that Toyota was just setting up "Lexus". As a consequence of what they (being Toyota) had learned about the whole "Brand and Image" thing with cars in the runup to starting Lexus, they not only gave Lexus a round badge to mimic the various established Euro brand's, but they also changed the mainstream Toyota emblem itself from being just a "T" style thing, to becoming an enclosed oval symbol. Playing with our minds - I reckon.... (It's a bit like falling in love with a beautiful Japanese woman, only to find out later that she's had that "eyelid" operation that they all get, so that her appearance unfairly "ticks" enough of the little Anglo-Saxon checkboxes in the "romantic" quadrant of your subconscious mind...)
Dear Chris,
Can't argue with that! I hereby mentally award you the other of the two lollies!..
Best Wishes,
Batpig.
