Hyundai N Performance Brand Mimics M Branding?

WingZeroX5 · 12-11-2013, 07:34 PM

its probably a take on NISMO and ///M

NISMO's "N" is black
BMW's ///M colors looks identical in the picture

Lol at getting butt hurt about a logo. I don't see where they really copied bmw especially when the colors on the national flag are actually blue, red and black....and it's a letter....

Yeah, lets go wage war on them and steal their resources and technology.

Because you know, Yanks have no shame in killing, stealing and dictating other countries.

Yea like having an M sport package and having the badges already inside the car. This has been discussed so many times. Get over yourself .

there was some f'd up racist comment that is now deleted. I was only responding to that f'tard who can't stand asian people and thinks asians are the worst race on this planet.

They have been copying since day one of (auto, retail store, electronics) manufacturing, and there only getting better at it. Take a look at many cars throughout history and the comparison will show. It's what they do best and there not about to change it. Some times they go a little to far, this being a perfect example, but even look at all the fake apple stores throughout Asia or Starbucks. If anything it's just something to laugh at, I doubt it will cause any market confusion.

The Hyundai N performance division isn’t actually based in Korea; it is actually stationed in Alzenau, Germany, which just outside Frankfurt. Quote from an article of topspeed!!

I don't care IF they call it an N3, it'd be hard to ignore!

Hyundai and Korea in general are putting out some very good products. If they are rolling out with a higher end performance version of their sports/y cars, I'd be interested to see.

I would laugh my ass off if it actually compares well against the "M". Hey, maybe they're actually copying the "Z", because "N" is actually more like "Z".

And what came out first, the "Z" cars or the "M"? Ok, looked around, Datsun was selling "Z" cars in the 1960's. Guess when the first "M" came out. If you guess well after 1960's, you'd be right. Looks like BMW is a copy cat. And Hyndai is just copying what BMW was copying as well.

Either way, who the fuck cares.
