Don't forget the ROGUE on the Nissan, that's what ruined it for me. I liked on it Porsche but then the rest came in and aged it quickly.

The rear trunk lid is designed for the logo, not for the letters. Leave it that way.

I wonder if we'll ever see Mercedes replace the tri-star logo, or Audi the 5 rings or BMW the roundel on the rear of their cars. It seems unlikely but never say never.

The Mercedes and BMW emblems have more design, history, and heritage to them vs. just an "L" for Lexus, "P" for potato, or "H" for Honda.. you get the idea. It's not even in the same league as the German emblems which have extremely rich history & aesthetic design.

The Lexus emblem is just lazy and how its executed -- a cheap plastic mound with the L embossed underneath said mound" is just low rent. i always hated it. Glad L E X U S is moving their emblem up market.

I agree 100% except I don't hate the L emblem, it's just the least creative thing they could have done.

P for Potato, is that a Russian brand? LOL

I just saw a new Infiniti with the Scrabble board rear - did they always do it or have they just become copycats as well?

They used to have the emblem above the scrabble board.

Yeah I think the emblem was still there as well. I guess I never noticed the letters before.

Guessing to follow the trend they will keep the scrabble board and rid of the emblem shortly. That is a money saving initiative right there.

Pretty sure that costs more. that cheap oval oversized plastic bottle cap surely costs nothing compared to chromed out letters w/ individual adhesive.

If this does occur it will likely not happen until the redesign.

Lol, You guys are making it sound like some new design.

Toyota has been doing it since the 70s

They had the letters and also the logo all together.

Probably for other manufacturers but not Infiniti as they are currently doing twice the work at twice the materials.
