OMG. My wife bitches at me cause to guys at the track announcers call my car a regal, and the other GN with badges a GN. I think she is going to buy new ones and put them on herself. I think if you know what they are then way do they need badges, and if you don't, your driving a hybrid.
Would you drive a GNX without badges? Doubtful. So why would one not want bades for ur GN? Otherwise it just looks like a black regal. Or even worse, a MONTE.....
