New Puzzler, Encore 7, Swiss Army Knife

Ray: I was in the jungle in South America and I had to remove a poison dart from my index finger.

Tom: Nicaragua.

Ray: Something like that. And I had out my Swiss Army knife, and I was doing a little surgery on my finger. And as I was about to put my Swiss Army knife away, I looked at it, and I noticed that it has on it the symbol of the Swiss flag, which is a white cross.

Tom: Everyone knows what the Swiss Army does.

Ray: What do they do?

Tom: They make knives. You know, like prisoners make license plates; the whole Swiss Army is out there making knives.

Ray: That's where the name comes from--Swiss Army knife Do they make anything else? Like flatware? Anyway, the Swiss Army knife has this white cross on a red background. That is evidently the Swiss Flag. And I realized that a certain automotive logo comes from this.

Tom: You might say a stylized version of the Swiss Flag.

Ray: Yeah, I might have said that if I had thought of it. So the question is what automotive company uses the Swiss Flag?

Tom: And how come?
