Default Scion FR-S with Lexus Logo????

So, today after walking my dog around our apartment, I notice a Scion FR-S with a Lexus Emblem. I though it was funny. However i do not like the look at all, it look kinda weird... I saw a FR-S with a Toyota Emblem before, and it actually look good.. but for some reason seeing it with a Lexus logo just odd in a way. What you guys think?

GODDAMD!!!

*no offense intended*

But on a serious note, it does happen even here. That kind of badge trickery and deception is so not cool imho...........but hey it's their cars so I can't do anything about it.

There's a guy in my town with a Chrysler 300 that replaced all the emblems with Bentley ones. He's not fooling anyone but himself. lol
