It's no better than seeing some jackass with an m badge on his 335.

Hate to break it you, guys... But Hyundai has been developping N cars way better M was even founded. ///M should be sued. This is ridiculous.

It's not flattery, it's because the entity sees something that it likes, but cannot or does not want to come up with something different, so they come up with something similar.

Innovation should be rewarded, not copied.

Hyundai will be acquiring BMW, effective April 1. 2014.

///M logo is fantastic
|N| logo looks like it needs some 3d glasses

Seriously I really don't care.

You need to calm down.

Honestly, is this front page news worthy? This isn't even worth a passing mention.

Agreed! Who cares. It's a Hyundai

simp0man · 12-10-2013, 07:56 PM

Have you guys notice the past years how Hyndai was always copying styles? I'm not suprised they went to this low. Hyndai never had trademark for anythjng but cheap Korean. Even the name sounds like an imitation of Honda.

Bx Tpr · 12-10-2013, 08:01 PM

BMW has pimped out its M badge to where it means nothing anymore. All is lost.

k-lo · 12-10-2013, 08:06 PM

BMW should respond by changing the //M to //O

krnnerdboy · 12-10-2013, 08:14 PM

Think what you want and say what you want. Free enterprise. Here's to hoping Hyundai will come out with something Motorsport related....

And to the dude that thinks Hyundai's name is a copy of Honda....well, you need to get out more. They're people's names

3M TAPE · 12-10-2013, 08:16 PM

they wanna be next to the M, I mean what's wrong with that?

Anyways, I call this article/thread b*llsh*t.

misterbeemer · 12-10-2013, 09:04 PM

Umm are you trying hard to flatter yourself/BMW, OP? They look nothing alike.

Orich · 12-10-2013, 09:05 PM

Precisely. ///M = ///Money. Nothing else. Slap it on all models and charge a premium for it. If you don't get M-Sport this or M-Sport that, you're getting a car not worth the $. BMW can start whoring out the other letters too. |||B and \\\W.

Haywood · 12-10-2013, 09:10 PM

I hate the "N" word. I thought that was banned in society?

BMWinAZ · 12-10-2013, 09:17 PM

Is that "N" as in "No Thank You" or "No Way" or "Nearly a Nissan"?
