It looks nice until you see the Kia oval which simply screams "CHEAP!!!" Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 10:49 am)

Replying to: backy (Jan 14, 2009 8:21 am) Lots of poseurs out there. They'd rather have a Mercedes or a Lexus, etc. but they are too poor or cheap to buy one. Replies to this message: backy (Jan 14, 2009 11:18 am) Jozz (Jan 14, 2009 1:03 pm) fintail (Jan 14, 2009 2:08 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Jan 14, 2009 8:23 am) Good try, but if you check my posts, I'm the guy who refuses to bow to any badge. According to your posts, you are the guy who has a fixation on badges. How bizarre.   Owners of other luxury cars are liking the Genesis, saying it stacks up well with other luxury cars they have owned. That's the ultimate testimonial, because there is probably little bias. How can you argue with that?   Why is it I don't remember ever seeing a badge on the Genesis?

Replying to: backy (Jan 14, 2009 8:27 am) What did Toyota's old logo look like? Anybody have any pics? It must've been pretty forgettable. Nissan still uses the old Datsun "hamburger." Honda's logo has been pretty consistant. Mazda had a pretty ugly logo until they changed it about 10 - 15 years ago.

Replying to: lemko (Jan 14, 2009 10:19 am) Why/how is it any different than Honda's H or Mazda's M?   I dunno, just asking.   To me it's a just a fairly generic letter. Honda's H is not skewed so they probably did that just to avoid litigation.   I don't see that as cheap, though.   Now *this* BYD logo screams cheap:

Replying to: lemko (Jan 14, 2009 10:27 am) In the 80s Toyota had one that looked like a ship or a Viking boat or something, I remember it vaguely. They must have had something built around a T at some time, too. Replies to this message: backy (Jan 14, 2009 11:16 am) fintail (Jan 14, 2009 2:07 pm) lemko (Jan 15, 2009 10:46 am)

Hyundai's actually looks good in 3D:     though in 2D is definitely does not look nearly as good:     Do you feel like the chrome 3D logo looks cheap? I don't...   The 2D one, sure.

Replying to: bobad (Jan 14, 2009 10:26 am) I have a fixation on bad marketing ideas, bad promotion, and poor images of the past.   Yeah, the Genesis is just walking away with the "luxury" market.   Can Hyundai do any wrong? The fanboys here are hilarious. Hyundai dealers maybe?

Replying to: backy (Jan 14, 2009 9:21 am) And you first brought the Avalon and Maxima into the thread, which is not logical or consistent. Me adding another model to those which are overpriced somehow makes me worse? You then tried to compare the ES to the Genesis in terms of respect, which is ridiculous.
