That's an Acura symbol turned upside down, I've seen in on several cars, upside down, it makes a small H, kinda gay if you ask me but what does my opinion matter?

I never understood why people put different logos on their cars. I have a Nissan and I love to see like Ford Escorts with the GT-R badges...even regular sentras with the SE-R logos. As much as I would love to have a skyline I would never dare insult the skyline and put a GT-R badge on it. Maybe it is just me...

I have seen that on a few cars in the new your area. I saw that on the back of a honda Odessey....Except the guy had one of those giant honda Symbol stickers on his rear window and it was upside down.

the way i heard it is that the upside down "A" acura logo on a honda represents a swapped motor from an acura into the honda. the "A" does look like an "H" when upside down, but its really anyones guess what that dude was thinking.

That car looks like a grandmother's champagne colored accord turned rice. i think the dealer applied maroon pin stripes still grace the sides of that beast.

a guess i have is the "V" stands for Viet...as in POWERED BY VIETNAM.
i've seen some cars with that and a V inside a fram...much like Honda's emblem.
so thats what i think...pretty tacky if u ask me.

Yea, I saw this homo with one when i was still in Dallas, he said it means "V"ery Gay...Its some underground car club for pillow biters. A blue emblem means that the guy is the catcher whereas a red emblem means that the guy is the pitcher...honest
