That does look funny, even though the front badge is for the model and the rear for the brand. Honestly I think they need to make the Hyundai badge more crisp, I think it looks dated at this point. Chrysler, Ford, and Cadillac seem to update their badges every now and then in a pleasing way.

Looks great. I think its looks better than a base GS . They have moved the look more modern and upscale to my eyes.
Remember guys this is ALL subjective

OP is just talking about the Genesis badge on the front vs the Hyundai one on the rear, FYI. Misleading thread title...

2015 Hyundai Genesis earns TOP SAFETY PICK+
ARLINGTON, Va. - The redesigned Hyundai Genesis, a large luxury car, earns the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, thanks to a good rating in the challenging small overlap front crash test and a superior rating for front crash prevention.
The 2015 Genesis also earns good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint evaluations.
In the small overlap test, the driver's space was maintained well, and injury measures recorded on the driver dummy indicated low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. The dummy's head made good contact with the front airbag, which stayed in position during the crash, and the side curtain airbag deployed to protect the head from contact with side structures.
The Institute added the small overlap evaluation to its testing lineup in 2012. In the crash, 25 percent of a vehicle's front end on the driver side strikes a 5-foot-tall rigid barrier at 40 mph. It replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle strikes another vehicle or an object like a tree or a utility pole.
The optional front crash prevention system, which is being offered for the first time on the 2015 model, earns a superior rating because of its automatic braking capabilities. In track tests, the car stopped completely before hitting the target in tests at 12 mph and 25 mph.
The Genesis is one of only three large luxury cars to earn the Institute's highest award for 2014. To qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle must earn a good or acceptable rating for small overlap protection, a good rating in the Institute's other four tests, and a basic, advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention.

I gotta say man at 38k start, this car looks pretty effing good.
the lexus GS and LS and even the ES have some REAL competition.
If I were in the market for a GS, Es or even the LS, I'd change my plans and go straight for this genesis. It is very very good looking

LOL at the drinking broad.
Interestingly, the grille comes out 100% unscathed.
Now I wonder if the rear window molding trim pops out due to the impact or the curtain airbag. Never seen that happen before.
