Hyundai N Performance Brand Mimics M Branding?
BIMMERPOST NEWS Hyundai's N Performance Brand Mimics M Branding? Hyundai has just announced its i20 World Rally Championship car, which wears a never before seen "N" graphic. That N signifies Hyundai's newly launched performance sub-brand for their production and racing cars. Not only does N sound like M, but the color scheme is also curiously similar to the BMW M tri-colors. Did Hyundai choose this letter simply because it's positioned close to or sounds similar to M? Hyundai says that "N" stands for the Namyang R&D center which developed the i20 rally car and will be responsible for future N branded production cars. via Jalopnik |

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The logos look nothing alike, and what a sin to use a letter that sounds similar and comes next in the alphabet!
Honestly, is this front page news worthy? This isn't even worth a passing mention. |

M has many potential meanings like Motorsports.
N is terrible terrible idea. It just doesn't sound right. |
