This. What does it mean? Max speed, the driver's competence or why didn't they just make more of them?
Ugliest car emblem.....

It means that the “Limited“ models will end at 5 million copies.
BTW that emblem has an interesting origin but it isn't a bowtie. Louis Chevrolet was in a Parisian hotel and this design was the wall paper of his room. He liked it and later it became the logo for his car company.

+1 on the bowtie ... it makes me cringe.
Hyundai emblem still ranks high in uglyness
The KIA emblem Silver just posted reminded me of an expression a coworker used to overuse....Too hep.
The Best is Volvo!!
I think it was designed by Austen Powers!! Yeah Baby!!

Here's one I wish I had never crossed paths with. The hood ornament for the infamous Olds 350 diesel. Totally obnoxious.
I actually think new Kia emblem is one of the nicest out there. Ugliest -Buick here. Guess everyone is different

I didn’t care for it at first but now I think it looks pretty nice when you see it on the car.

The new KIA emblem is not only ugly, but viciously so.
It’s the only emblem I have ever seen where people go out of their way to mention how ugly it is. I’m talking even in random places, like going to the grocery store...did you find everything you were looking for? Yes, thank you. Ok, have a nice day, try not to look at those new KIA emblems in the parking lot, you’ll go blind. Thanks, I definitely won’t.

I'd have to say the ugliest is either Mitsubishi or Ram.
I actually really like the new Kia emblem, one of my favorites.

You can't fool me! I'm old enough to have seen the history of the Chevy bowtie. It has hardly remained the same over all those years.That Bowtie has been around for 108 years. Sometimes perfection doesn't need to be changed.

Unfortunately i feel like Fords emblem is pretty gross…. Iconic…. But gross
I kinda think they did a good job... but there was a time, not so long ago, that I thought that the cachet of a Kia was pretty much non existent. I'm not sure I still feel that way though.
Funny thing, that. I remember when "made in Japan" was being in the penalty box. Then Japanese artisanal pride became known. Like their knife-makers... Then, made on HongKong was in the penalty box for me... and that changed. Then made in Taiwan was that way for me. Then that, too, changed. Now it is Made in China that is not premium, for me... But that actually is changing, at least by way of varying quality levels. I'm still not enamoured re supporting that bully, by way of international behaviour...
But I digress, sorry.
