Lexus taking the badges off 2011 models? What do you think?

Did I miss the other thread? Was it in CarChat?
Anyways, I agree that its redundant information. No other prestigious luxury brand does it. However, it does add a balance to the trunk lid, lettering on each side. I can go for either.
lol why was the Rx, HS and LS the only ones left out?

Less is more
You see the three pointed star and you know it's a Mercedes.
You see the rotating propeller and you know it's a BMW.
You see the "L" and you know it's a Lexus.
There is no need to spell out the name. If the brand is well established, the badge will speak for itself.

I like it much better without the LEXUS emblem. So much cleaner and not overstated. The "L" is enough.
First mod I did with my Mazda was take of the "MAZDA" badge. Less is more.

i think it's a mistake as the backs look more plain and because despite lexus' success, i still think reinforcing the name is worth it.

i liked having the LEXUS emblem on there. it was redundant, yes, especially considering how well known the brand is here in north america. it seems like it is incomplete without it.
i had all of my emblems in the rear off, as i didnt like the chrome on my obsidian while i was waiting for my BP emblems to arrive. sure enough i got pulled over for having a tinted license plate frame cover 
. The dumb cop wrote it as "IS 350". it was as if the ticket never existed. i still showed my license and registration, and it even said MODEL: IS F, yet he probably presumed from the rear that it was just going to be a 250/350. that would be the only time i say go without any emblems. lol
personally, I think the only badge that needs to be there is the L emblem... does anyone really care what model number the car / truck is?
I took the SC400 off of my car completely - sure, some might think its a 300, some might not know at all, I don't care, honestly, I just like the way it looks - much cleaner...

Not to get too far off topic, but I think taking an emblem off an IS-F is blasphemous (the IS-F emblem, not the L) You're wearing the F-Sport name, wear it, FLAUNT IT!! (even though you can tell with the quad exhausts..........)
I haven't seen too many people debadge an M or AMG. Only 1 guy who was driving a super clean E92.
