I came across the spots car in the parking lot yesterday and having a hard time identifying the make. I have done quite an extensive search on the internet and have not had any success. Any of you viewers know anything about this car. No manufacturer's name just this emblem and the same emblem on the wheel hubs. I thought that it might have been a Maseratti but they have a much different logo.

Maybe call the DMV, they should have the make & model on the registration information

Upon further review, with the help of a copy & paste into Google, I got this result:

Star Wars Galactic Empire Emblem Car or Truck Window Laptop Decal

Looks just a tad after market, to me.

May the farce be with you.

Look like a Mr. Two to me.
Toyota MR2.

That's what it is. All you have to do is put the picture of the car into the Google reverse image search, and many images of that car show up. The emblem is the Star Wars Jedi Order emblem that the owner probably put on the car after the fact.

Looks very similar but the MR2 has the regular Toyota emblems which are different to this car. Hopefully I will see this car again and catch up with the owner!

Wow! You just solved the problem. Thanks for that. It is indeed the star wars emblem. You have a good memory. That movie was so long ago I had forgotten all about it.

Well, the emblem on the front really didn't get much....

If you look closely at your last photo you can see that the emblem has been tampered with. I think it's just a case of removing the Toyota emblem and replacing it with their "favorite" emblem. Pretty common with folks that want to "personalize" their rides, but it's definitely a Toyota MR2.

Star Wars emblem makes sense.
Toyota was founded by Mr. Toyoda. And Toyoda sounds like Toy Yoda which is star wars related.

The way things are going, it will probably be illegal to tamper with the manufacturer's emblem before long.
