Crazy idea?!

XxACExX · 12-14-2013, 11:00 PM

I dont know what genisis owners are doing where you guys live but over here in Canada there is not 1 car left that has a hyundai H-logo. They all have replaced the H with the wings logo. I find it absolutely hilarious that these people would spend all that money on a brand they are ashamed to showcase.

Or it could be the fact that the H doesn't look as good as the wing emblem. You are aware that the wings still represent Hyundai and the Genesis right?

agree with Mr.XxACExX, but I thought the wing logo is OEM too, no?

The genesis wings emblem started over in korea to try and generate more interest. With just a simple badging change they successfully garnered more of the market share. The genesis wings logo is not put on these cars in north america straight from the manufacture, rather you have to either order one from korea or buy an aftermarket one here.

My GC came with the wings badge from the dealer. To be honest I liked the H emblem better but my wife wanted the one with the winged badge. Happy wife happy life lol.

Changing the emblem isn't due to the owners being ashamed of the car lol. They do it because they like it and its a very popular mod. It's about the same thing as putting the GTR start button on our cars. There's really no reason other than its a different color. Same mindset with the winged badge. The badge still says genesis on it.

Your car came from the dealer equipped with the badge because your dealer had it put on before you even set foot in the dealers. If you read my post again i said clearly from the manufacture not dealer. I honestly like the genesis as a car and if hyundai ever manages to fully capture consumer confidence, like they initially had many years ago as a brand, i will buy one then. Until this happens i refuse to be raped on the plummeting depreciation figures.

Which is the reason I said from the dealer and not manufacturer. I read your post clearly the first time. I'm saying that some people didn't put the emblems on themselves like you insinuate.

I drove the r-spec and Touring. Was impressed with the Touring interior. No offense, but after being a Z car guy forever, the r-spec didnt do much for me. Its the performance of the Touring without what I want the Touring for. I want 90% Z performance, same CLOSE two seat relationship, with the interior, all the bells and whistle for $35K. Gen, 3.8 Touring is the only thing I can think of. Next up is 115% Z performance with the plush...911, $100 grand. That wont be happening.
