No words for this. Spotted by someone on my Elise forum:



Meh...

Did they actually think it was a Maserati?

[transio]

Nope. They thought it was a clown in a vehicross.

Funny thing happened to me last week and this thread reminded me of it. Everyday I pass a Maserati dealership on my way to work. Big glass windows with lots of beautiful expensive toys in it. Ferraris as well. A stop light right there which I always end up stopping at and peering into the showroom.

One day as I was waiting at the red light I had my daily look into the showroom to see if any of the cars had been sold. I saw a couple along with a salesman checking out this sweet sky blue Maserati convertable. I looked at the light and then back again to the showroom. To my surprise I found three faces looking back at me. Three smiling faces and a salesman who gave me a quick thumb's up.

THey had good taste. ;Dr;

someone needs to find that "clown" and introduce his little maserati sticker to a razor blade and goop-off.

God, WHAT IS SO DAMN SHAMEFUL ABOUT WEARING THE ISUZU BADGE?

I think the guy in the other forum got it right, it's a VX owner with low self esteem. Maybe they should sell it and buy themselves a Cooper.

[driver3]

sort of the same as peeling off the 3. in 3.5L... or putting NASA on the back...

and I agree with Maugan.. why not leave the isuzu on it.. maybe that's why they are doing so bad.. no one likes them.. I love mine.. I leave all the badges on it.. I hope more people buy them so they quit closing all the dealerships...

I know that road. It's River Road in Louisville, KY. I drive it every day. I believe I have seen this Ebony several times. But, never following. That name plate is probably from my old '85 BiTurbo I sold some time ago. I don't think he/she has ever been on this board. Raque has the other Ebony in the area.

There's one in the garage, too, but I don't have even one Elise yet (and may never due to ingress/egress issues). Easy explanation. Not my house and not my Elises!!! It was an Elise club BBQ at one of the other members' houses.

Wow, that is just CHEESEY! I think I'm gonna start walking around with a shirt on that says "I am a tiger. Hear me roar".

Excuse me, but how is this different from someone putting Posrche bagdes on VX?
If I remeber corectly we had this discusssion a few months ago... I think it was a member of this board, but I cant seem to find that thread....

Personally, I just don't like the way the Isuzu badge looks. It's big and ugly and poorly designed. I much prefer a logo or crest or badge to plain uncreative lettering - and not only did they chince out on making a decent crest, but they then made their ugly *** lettering as big as possible. Damn right I'm gonna rip that sh*t off! I also didn't like the VehiCROSS lettering. Gone too. That's why I debadged them... Sue me. I may eliminate the 3.5L and 4wd just because they look awkward there by themselves now..

You couldn't pay me to put a Maserati or Mercedes or Ferrari badge on, though. That's just plain kitsch.

As for "representin" for Isuzu... why? What have they done for me? I have no particular loyalty to the brand, and I could care less if they succeed or fail. Other than the VX, they've made no vehicle that has even interested me..... and even the VX is beginning to annoy me in little ways.
