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

I like the new emblem on my RX450h. t's a refreshing change. The old design was nice but getting a little blah. My only complaint is the front emblem is way too big. I would have preferred something smaller.
I did have the rear emblem changed recently. There was some kind of corrosion going on inside. Dealer said they've seen a few with the same problem.

Its called classy design. It lasts for years. Luxury car owners don't want the car to change drastically every generation. It kills resale value and image.
You do realize you are comparing older luxury cars to brand new non luxury 2011 models. Apples to Oranges

Anita, what do you mean about the new emblems on your 450? just the blue logos? I was confused at first whether or not you took your Lexus emblem off.

Will have to give this more time, but so far I think it looks unbalanced and naked.
Surprised no one brought up the story of Hyundai ommitting their emblem on the front of the Genesis sedan. There was a big thing about that before the car came out- whether to include it or not.
Interestingly, the railroad formerly known as Burlington Northern Santa Fe is now just "BNSF." The words are no longer in the official name. The railroad wants to be known only as letters. Many companies are now taking this "logo" approach. Maybe the artist formerly known as Prince was on to something.

I like the change 
I'll have to get used to the lack of symmetry in the back now which in my mind was probably the reason for the Lexus emblem in addition to the L emblem to begin with.

This is a luxury forum and it does matter, thus why we are talking about it.

Would be nice if members had a tool to put specific members on "ignore", kind of like in a chat room.
Moderators?

Ignore away.As for the emblem, I'm used to the German cars doing it this way. I understand about the balance but the redundancy bothers me more. I don't hate the "Lexus", though, so I can go either way.
