BLUEBIRD is derived from Maeterlinck's Blue Bird. Since ancient times, blue bird has been regarded as a symbol of happiness in Europe and America. BLUEBIRD was named by the president Kawamata Katsuji at the time. This car was named SNOWBIRD at first in the development phase, but was renamed BLUEBIRD because SNOWBIRD meant "drug addict" in American slang.
