# Query posts using same taxonomy term

 * Hello,
 * I have custom post types sharing a “Brands” taxonomy with posts.
    I would like
   to query and list 5 posts (post type “post”) in the custom post type “single”
   template.
 * The trick is that i’d like to query posts that use the same “Brands” term.
 *     ```
       <?php
           global $wp_query;
           query_posts(array('post_type' => 'post', "Brands" => "term_name", 'showposts' => 5 ));
           if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
           ?>
       ```
   
 * In this example “term_name” is hard coded and i’d like it to pick up the current
   custom post type’s “Brands” term (i.e. Cadillac).
 * This must be very simple but i’m stuck here.
