It is as dumb as fake badging M5 on my Avalon. No one is falling for it.
Or should I do "F"?

Wife: do you like that car
Me: no
Wife: why it's an M and you love M cars I thought
Me: not an M car just a badge on a 7 series
Wife: yeah thought it looked suspicious, didn't care for the wheels

Saw a 335i yesterday at Braman Miami. Only badge on the rear? M3. Dual exhaust dead give away from behind

considering the Avalon has the same torque converter as the ISF, I would say use the F badging

badbeef · 10-09-2014, 01:28 PM

Is that a Hondarossa in the parking spot next to it?

Maybe go all the way with decal/badging like the Toyota F1 car below.

Yes it is. It is Jordan Mugen Hondarossa, and it cost 5x more than that Porsche Panamera turbo S

I don't think it is. I'll have to see tomorrow. Too lazy to go down there and check. If it is, it is another perk.

Speaking of badges, I was going by a new BMW 328 on the freeway last evening and there was a large "GT" badge on the left rear. I was thinking "WTF?" Then I realized "GT" was just BMW-speak for a 4-door sedan with less rear headroom, aka their Gran Turismo designation. NOT like GT as in a faster Audi R8 or P 911.

Seems BMW is going crazy with their semi-misleading badges.

NickRac · 10-31-2014, 08:34 AM

I know many of us have become very frustrated with badge happy BMW - adding the M badge to things like the m235i and anything with an "///M" cosmetic package.

But how about all those other people who are really abusing the badge? This should be a fun thread to post some of the fake ///M badges we see out in the wild!

JTO24 · 10-31-2014, 08:56 AM

not an M but just as funny.. captured this on my way home from work a while back:

bmwluvr24 · 10-31-2014, 09:37 AM

I will snap some pics on Monday. There is always a mass quantity of M3 328s at the service area, regardless of dealership, in San Diego.

Rude Boy · 10-31-2014, 09:41 AM

C'mon Maaaan!!! Lol Smh

TahoeM3 · 10-31-2014, 09:47 AM

I once saw a Honda Pilot with a GT-R badge. I wasn't able to get a picture of that, but I did get a picture of this appropriately named "dope."

Updated pic...

GOLFFRR · 10-31-2014, 09:47 AM

lol maybe they are just fans of the brand

yekmurat · 10-31-2014, 10:25 AM

So you people dont know about M departments special projects for nissan??

Drizz · 10-31-2014, 11:38 AM

Didn't get a pic but saw a Camry completely re-badged with Lexus badges.
