What car is the 'Sugar Triangle'?
2 Answers
Sugar Triangle is a nickname for a Mazda car, derived from the vehicle's emblem. Origin of the name 'Mazda': There is a common misconception that 'MAZDA' is the English spelling of the surname 'Matsuda' of the company's founder, Jujiro Matsuda, and that 'Mazda' is a transliteration of the Japanese pronunciation of 'Matsuda'. This is incorrect. The correct English spelling of 'Matsuda' is 'MATSUDA', not 'MAZDA'. 'MAZDA' is an English word (not a name) related to 'Matsuda' but not equivalent to it. Therefore, MAZDA cars should not be translated as 'Matsuda cars'. Mazda's logo: After Mazda's collaboration with Ford, the company adopted a new logo featuring a seagull in flight within an ellipse, which also forms the letter 'M'. The 'M' stands for the first capital letter of 'MAZDA', symbolizing the company's ambition to soar high with boundless creativity and sincere service into the new century.
The 'Sugar Triangle' is a nickname for the British Jaguar E-Type. As a long-time enthusiast in the classic car circle, I know this name comes from its sexy body design—forming an elegant and smooth triangle from the headlights to the rear, looking as charming as a piece of candy. This car made its debut in 1961 and instantly stole the hearts of sports car enthusiasts worldwide, with even Enzo Ferrari praising it as the most beautiful car in the world. It represented the automotive design revolution of the 1960s, perfectly combining speed and aesthetics, and many collectors are willing to bid high for an original version. The driving experience is unique, with the engine's roar carrying a hint of elegance, as if reliving a golden-era dream. Despite aging now, it remains a star at classic car shows.
