Swastika? No, even after people have mentioned that there's a vague resemblance, I haven't been able to see it. I've never been able to get those "magic eye" puzzles either.
On the other hand, when I looked at the logo for the very first time, I saw the SS and thought "WTF?" before i realized it was an 86. |

Okay, maybe not silly, but still annoying to hear how people are actually berating the drivers of this car because they think they see a swastika. I guess this stuff just happens though. I will say this, no one has said mine looks like a swastika or an SS yet, but pretty much everyone I've shown it to has asked what it is, which I enjoy because it's nice to be able to explain the history of the car, and the quirks of the creators with the borexstroke and exhaust diameter.

Yeah I never noticed it before, but after someone on this forum pointed it out, I can see it now.

If someone asked me if that was a swastika on my car I would give them a weird look and ask if thats a swastika on their forehead. |

Maybe I'm a dummy, but I didn't know what Swastika was until I googled the term soon after I discovered this thread.
I don't know what to say... I feel the emblem enhances the car's 'coolness', if anything. I try not to complicate my mind, therefore I look at it positively.

I mean I can see it per picture below. But we all obviously know there were none of those intentions. I remember seeing a video where the 86 logo for this car was originally not slanted (italicized) but they implemented it to resemble the car drifting.

SS is in front of plenty of things as an acronym.
S.S. Minnow = Steam Ship that one still confuses me since the minnow was as big as a row boat on TV SS= Scout/Sniper my former profession. Semper Fi SS= Schutzstaffel which translates to Protective Squad / Praetorian Guards People are going to see what they want, I just heard that the Monster logo M is made up of the Hebrew emblem hav three time hav=6 What I dont understand is how this. equals this ( I felt bad for my brothers on this one ) Or how this Equals this. Food for thought
