Toyota's emblem is perfectly symmetrical. Did you mean a different word?

Alfa Romeo for me



Worst one, by a long chalk is Chevrolet's bow tie logo.

Toyota logo is symmetrical. It is made up with three ellipses forming a capitalized "t" letter standing for Toyota, how genius is it.

While symmetrical, it's not exactly a "clean" design.

But at least it's symmetrical, and hence, better than the Hyundai logo - which very well may be the worst.

I think Aston Martin has a nice logo, but many other cars have a similar logo.

The chrome badges always look nice.

Lexus

Infiniti

Mercedes

Audi

It just looks real professional, compared to ugly worded logos, like Nissan, and Subaru.

I think the most iconic logos, are the ones that don't require the car name written, but a simple symbol, that when looking at, you know what it is.

Well your use of "clean" is quite subjective and differs from accepted lexicon. Why not just say "I don't like it?"

^ Most everything is subjective (well, to a point).

Fine, I don't like the Toyota logo b/c I don't find it to be a clean design (as opposed to the Lexus logo).

There are people who don't think the Hyundai logo is overly busy, but I still don't like that one either.

Happy?

Maserati Trident just sounds and looks amazing. The Trident being Poseidon's weapon of choice doesn't hurt the image either.

Benz as well, it screams classy. The spirit of ecstasy comes in as close second and prancing horse in third.
