If the car had a different paradigm, say that of my Lotus, the badge itself wouldn't matter. My Exige says "LOTUS" on the back of it, and has a Lotus badge on the front, yet usually the first question every normal person asks is "what is it?"

Maybe I should put an M badge on it
I want one of these so bad. Someone help me convince my wife that the 3rd garage spot is for a 3rd car and not for useless junk.
