Toyota or Toyoda?

True or False?
Toyota changed its name from Toyoda in 1937 because when written in Japanese it not only looks better, but it only needs eight brush strokes - a lucky number in Japan.

(from Summer 2006 "If." - The Toyota magazine)

Well... is it true or false? Doesn't say. And I thought Seven was the Japanese lucky number!?

Sven wasn't very lucky for the English football team. Your boys took one hell of a beating, or would of.

Quite right. Get rid of Sven and we stick 4 past the European Champions.
