Toyoda/Toyota, fyi: the kanji is the SAME. da/ta uses the kanji that look like a square with + in the middle. This in japanese represents the rice paddy field.

SOOOO... you guys saying, its ToyoDA not ToyoTA, sorry it doesnt matter, the kanji means the same and japanese names the proper prounounciation of the onyomi/kunyomi doesnt have to be 'book correct'.
