    IMHO the "best" car logos are:Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Bently, Jaguar, BMW, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Alfa Romeo, Morgan, MG, Lotus, Infinity.

    The "average" logos include: TVR, AC Corbra, Maserati, Porsche, Cadilac, Bugatti, Audi, Citroen, Kia, Lexus, Lincoln, Mini, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Maybach, Roover, Saab, Saturn.

    The "below average" logos include: Honda, Facel Vega,, DeTomaso, Lancia, Jeep, Dodge Viper, Ford, Chevy, Cadillac, Land Rover, Renault, Chrysler, Fiat, GM, GMC, Mazda, Suzuki, Hummer, Hyundai, Int.Harvester, Izuzu, McLarin.

    The logos that should be changed include: Toyota, Volvo, Buick, Opel, Acura, Datsun, Oldsmobile, Nissan, Volkswagen, Saleen, Subaru, Volvo, Daewoo, Pontiac,Datsun, and the new 2007Ferrari F1 team logo.

    It's interesting that Of the best, 7 are English( old world class),and 3 are Italian(design leaders). Of the worst, 5 are japanese(poor stylists) 2 are swedish(poor stylists), and 3 are American(not much class or style).

    Let me know what you think. (To see most of the logos go to following site.....)

    All just opinion.

    I don't think KIA has a better logo than Acura, Honda, or Nissan, but you do, and that's fine.
    Is Saturn on there anywhere?

    I concur.

    Infiniti? Made up corporate garbage. Ditto Lexus.

    Oldsmobile: no more cars, no logo needed.

    Porsche is stunning - plus there's the family name, Stuttgart heritage, etc. And the sans-serif block script is iconic. IMO one of the world's most potent brands.

    But: Ferrari is the best of the lot, in my biased opinion. It reflects the grace of the cars it appears on. I even have a second Ferrari key fob with the shield that I carry my Jeep keys on. That way there's something nice to look at when I'm driving the Jeep.

    If you understood the US/French history behind the Cadillac logo, you may not have made that statement. In the world of automobiles Cadillac has always been able to stand behind their motto of "The standard of the world". I'm a firm believer and owner of Cadillacs over the years and their logo has meaning - i.e. not a bow tie.
    Also understand, I am not lording Caddie over other marques, just do not like their logo denigrated.
    The only foreign marque I have owned, over 60 years of car purchases has been Ferrari.

    IMO, the best car logos are Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Rolls Royce.

    The rest like Toyota, Nissan, Mercury, Ford, and Kia are the boring one's since they're not stylish at all.

    I actually like Subaru's. But that's probably because I'm an astronomy buff. It's actually a representation of the Pleiades star cluster, which is what "Subaru" refers to in Japanese.

    Still, my favorite logos are probably those from Alfa, Lambo, Porsche, Bentley, Ferrari, and Cadillac.

    Why? Do you know what the word "Subaru" and the logo even mean?
