Autoblog has photos of a Bentley Continental GT adorned with Hyundai badges. Is it a statement, or did the owner lose a bet? Link -Thanks, Bill!

    maybe its a hyundai prototype, seeing as how they rip off most cars anyway

    It's an anti-theft technique. No one steals a Hyundai ...

    My first thought: anti-theft - cutting off your nose to protect your face.

    It might be anti-theft, but I think it's more likely that it's just anti-badge-theft. People like to steal the hood ornaments off of expensive cars, maybe people stole the Bentley tag so they slapped on a Hyundai. Funny.

    I've actually noticed that a lot of new Hyundais actually look a bit like Bentleys...

    I saw a fabulous '96 Corolla defaced with a BMW emblem right on the trunk last week. What a horrible way to devalue a perfectly glorious automobile. Shameful.

    My Dreamcar (except the badge off course :D )
    But I prefer it in a grayer tone http://www.carchannel.be/nl/artikel/bentley/avant-premi%C3%A8re-bentle y-continental-flying-spur-322kmu :D .
