I agree that less is more... and we're talking about that on a vehicle with the hood emblazoned with: D E F E N D E R So... if they are going to put the Land Rover badge on the front of it, at least center the thing so that it looks intentional.

While scrounging around for El Camino restoration parts this morning, I came across this valuable nugget of historical automotive design information. It appears that the 1965 El Camino may have beaten Lexus to the Irregular Concave Hexagon Grill (a.k.a. Spindle Grill) by 49 years! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
