They have a reason to be jealous, that Genesis pig weighs approximately 3600 lbs.

You only have so many minutes to spend on this planet. Why waste any of them concerning yourself with something so meaningless and trivial?

The problem with the Hyundai owners I've known (I used to work there)...they've never owned or spent any time in other sports cars. Every Hyundai I've ever been in felt like a cheap car and yes that includes Genesis sedan.

If you wanted a true comparison of our car to any other make/model you would simply have to compare the inaugural year of the car...Hyundai has had how many years to get that car right and it's still a plastic POS.

If someone does up a set of "Toyobaru" badges with an FR-Z badge I'd totally rebadge mine to that.

I like your style! and I agree, It would actually be a fun mini modification to do and might look pretty good at that. That way there would not be this silly rift that Hardrock4445 and others may be experiencing. Plus it would add another unique change to such a beautiful car.

Nice! About how I pictured it - a combination of both badges. The T with the Subaru constellation superimposed.
