To show you guys what I think of the G80, it was actually in second-place consideration, right behind the new Buick Lacrosse I just ordered, though not necessarily in the (probably) stiffer-riding G80 Sport-trim version.

Actually, the Chrysler badge is a lot thinner and wider.

I bet most wouldn't have a clue but regardless so what if it bears a VERY vague similarity?

my response was added to post 15. It just looks very similar from afar or near to the average person. Everything is about perception right? Same thing when it was under the Hyundai brand (thats why it didnt sell and is rebranded), now it looks "like" a Chrysler logo. Why can't they make something like one of a kind that cant be mistaken for a cheap brand. Then develop it into the next Lexus, BMW, or Benz. They already have the engine, interior and price covered, but people buy the badge more than the car

Well, if I was #1001, I'd probably disagree.
