I remember reading on Corksport's website that they derived their name from the original name for Mazda, Toyo Cork Kogyo Co, who made, of all things, Cork.



And our friends at Nintendo...

I don't think Mazda was every called "Toyo Cork Kogyo." Toyo Kogyo... yes. It does translate into "something cork" or "cork something" so I don't see why it'd be "toyo cork cork".

Someone please let me know if I'm off on this. Btw, in general Wikipedia sucks for answers.

I'd feel sorry for you if you really did own a Daewoo.

A group of investors including Matsuda took over a failing Abemaki tree cork company in January 1920, naming it Toyo Cork Kogyo Company Limited. Toyo means Orient and Kogyo means industry. Jujiro became president the next year.

dont forget the heavy machinery. Excavators, backhoes and the likes. They make shitty machinery so I can imagine their cars and other stuff is about as bad
