Oops pbm317 is right. I found the thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...s-fighter.html

Your call on what you want to do Bit.

I have to agree with Mr. Burns......"concept" vehicles, in automotive-speak, could mean any one of a number of different things.

By could be anything I mean you could put other badges on it and still not tell the difference. Chrysler? Maybe Ford? Audi? Jag?

Genesis styling theme needs a complete ground up redo, and that fake Aston Martin/Bentley badge needs to go.

I gathered (perhaps incorrectly) that the term "concept", as you were using it, could mean prototype, test-mule, a design to test the public's reaction to it, a vehicle to show off the ability of a company's stylists, a proposal to meet a specific objective (like Volvo's famous "safety-cars") a proposal to meet specific governmental or public objectives.....any one of a number of different reasons.

Genesis styling theme needs a complete ground up redo, and that fake Aston Martin/Bentley badge needs to go.
What, then, would you suggest in its place? Personally, I see nothing wrong with the winged-badge. In fact, several different automakers use a winged-emblem, not just Genesis.
