Any input? If we think "yes," which Lexus has the proper sized badge?

Or tell me I'm just nuts...
do you not understand that your sc300 was made BY TOYOTA? which is why the parts were labeled TOYOTA. they aren't going to switch the dye out every time a lexus or toyota part comes through the rollers.

in europe, it's the market brand that they have introduced. scion doesn't exist, it's US ONLY based company. this is the same with lexus, however it can be found in a few other markets.
