What does it mean to have a gecko sticker on a car?
1 Answers
Car owners stick a "gecko" on the back of their car to bring good luck, as "gecko" sounds like "protection" in Chinese. Additional information: Detailed explanation of the gecko on Audi Quattro: 1. Origin of the icon: The word "gecko" means four-wheel drive in Italian, and in 1980, Audi named its quattro drive system after it. Therefore, the gecko became the initial icon for this system's models, which is why the gecko frequently appeared in the earliest Audi advertisements. 2. Symbolism of climbing: Because geckos have strong climbing abilities, Audi uses the gecko as an icon, symbolizing that its four-wheel drive system is as powerful as a gecko's climbing ability.
