I am kinda thinking it looked like some weird Lexus. Looks familiar, just not sure what it is, and never saw the badge before.

Don't have any pics of the front unfortunately, not very tall headlights with a row of LEDs across the bottom...

The new logo is a huge improvement. I've seen several and would consider buying a Hyundai for the first time. I think it's one of the best looking sedans at the moment and the Koreans have definitely stepped up their game. Looking forward to seeing it in black.

What btimbit said. I don't follow much of the car industry, there are a few, but I am more into the domestics, trucks, and some of the supercars I find interesting.

now, rewind 7 years or so, and I could point to damn near anything on the road and rattle off what each vehicle was, which gen, and what engines were available in them. Not so much anymore LOL

Like I said, in my defense, Baygirl didn't know what it was either, and she usually knows her cars too!

Isn't that logo/badge specific for the Genesis only?
I thought I read somewhere that the rest of the lineup gets the normal badge.

ya too many losers figure they have to put badges on their cars. Even in Korea the cars don't come with the badges.

That's exactly what I thought the first time I saw this. Was like wtf that's a weird Bentley. Thought some retard had just put the Bentley logo on some other car. Then I went closer and saw the Hyundai thing... Lol
