3 rhombuses

It means " 3 rhombuses". A rhombus is
a parrallelogram with equal sides.
If you look at their corporate logo,
which looks like a Mercedes symbol, you'll know what I mean.

Hope this helps.

The meaning of Mitsubishi is the above. But since it\'s a name, it
is not translated.

三菱の (Mitsubishi)、或いは三菱製 (Mitsubishi-se e)の (車)

Jina is absolutely right.
But I think it may be a good idea to just use it as is, since Mitsubishi refers to a name of the manufacturer. Are you asking the actual meaning of this word, John?
