Talking Lexus Sienna?

I was heading to Costco last night (Lexus dealer is one block away) and I saw a Lexus Sienna at the light, I literally did a double take when I saw it. I know they put the Lexus and the "L" badge on because they use it as a shuttle and they have to rep Lexus when they're out and about but it was still funny to see.






EDIT:

Mods feel free to move it.

It makes me wonder, if I had re-badged the Tacoma that I used to own as a Lexus, if I could have gotten more for it when I sold it.

I worked for a dodge dealer in high school. Our V6 dodge dakota parts truck had V10 badges on the side and on the tailgate. Huge pain in the butt at the gas station; people want to see. Service guys end up with extra badges and extra time

LOL, that's pretty funny. Sadly, I've seen worse rebadging.

Do all the rebadging include "premium fuel required" sticker inside the fuel door?

Ha ha! Nice.

A few years ago i saw a Previa on Ebay that was totally redone with Lexus Badges and wheels, and had a totally custom interior with new leather seats and everything.

Funny thing was it actually was done incredibly well, and could of passed as a Lexus to someone who wasn't educated on them

That's shows people the "L" Badge has !!! Seen many in Istanbul & Singapore. People love to badge them regardless which saloon or SUV it is.
