Did you know the 2.3 badging on the passenger side door is only available in Europe...Why it looks good... I guess it doesn't really matter because it'll be for sale on the web in a couple months...

Bading

Absolutely. Didn't think anyone would respond to this did ya?

I think badging is stupid. I don't really think people need to know what model car I'm driving. If you want badging, go out and buy the stickers yourself.

Well, it's a form of advertising really. I'll admit, when I see a car I like on the road or in a parking lot, I look for the make either on the trunk or hood, then look for the model on the trunk or side. It's irritating when I can't find it.

I think the 2.3 badging doesn't look too bad on the darker cars. It stands out and breaks up the door a bit. Don't mind it with or without, but curious to see how it would look on one of my 3's(waiting for insurance decision).

I think there's a similar thread in Exterior.
