Saw a Verna yesterday with the Hyundai logo in the front grille replaced with a Ferrari logo.

But a Bentley with Hyundai logo

Well I think the owner wants to save the money of logo. (as that must be very cosly!!) so he must have replaced it with Hyundai.

I am sure that is photoshopped. No one would do this.

Thats what I too thought initially but if you check the link there are people who say they have seen the actual car!! You can also see the rest - wheels, boot etc.

Does not seem to be Photoshopped. Saw in another forum that this car belongs to the MD of a Hyundai dealer in the US. I could be wrong.

This Astra looks really cool. Not sure why you didn't like it.

Auto freak · 1st July 2008, 19:23

the astra looks good to me too.
the spaced out wheels on the Ikon look hillarious!

They're all weird and wacky - the fiat, the BMW Accent etc. The Matador SUT is a good idea, the Jaguar on the Sonata....I don't feel there's anything wrong in it - it's a stark reality that it's a Jaguar Replica.
