New Logo

Whenever I see a car with a badge that dosent belong on it (even ones from other markets like the old Tuscani badges on Tiburons) I always assume that the driver is embarrassed to be driving the brand he is.

The best looking logo, showing the 5th car maker on planet earth. Looks good people get over it.

Probably shouldn’t assume mate. I changed mine to the Korean E badge and large Stinger script and it had nothing to do with being embarrassed to be driving a Kia, and everything to do with I like the new badges better than the factory badges, especially the rear large Stinger script. It should’ve had that on the back of it in every market world wide, not just Korea. I happily tell people when asked that it’s a Kia and love the look of shock on their faces when they hear that. There’s nothing embarrassing about the brand or the car it’s simply a personal choice.

The old adage about "don't assume" applies here.

But in all honesty if you could have this badge on your hood would you strip every single ferrari badge in the car for a badge with the shape of a z or S etc? I doubt

A similar thing happens here in Australia. We have.... or had our locally built Holden SS commodore which was running a Chevy V8. People would strip the Holden badges and replace them with Chevy badges. I know they are both GM products, but I never understood why. Are you embarrassed that it’s a Holden? Do you wish it was a Chevy? Does it make it go faster?
As far as being different, the more people that are doing it the more it becomes the norm.

That's funny because in the U.S. people rebadge them by removing the Chevy (and Pontiac with the GTO) badging and replacing it with Holden.

I had no idea. Not being a "car guy" I never noticed such things. This must be a human propensity to find foreign lands "exotic" somehow.

Well you know what they say about those who assume ...
