Yes, this is the inspiration for the name and logo of the Japanese auto manufacturer.  These are relatively young stars and their blue color is typical for such stars.  The Pleiades (M45) can be seen easily with the naked eye because they are so bright.  Most of the brighter stars we see are not in visible clusters, so it is easy to identify.
