I saw a really good looking 2 door sport car (hard top) today but I have no idea what it was. There was a logo on the center back that had wings like the Mazda emblem, but MUCH thicker wings and no circle around it.
I'm clueless what it was! Anybody know??? Car had beautiful lines. Rounded curves, nothing sharp. |

People cut the circle off the Mazda emblem all the time. Was it the new MX-5 RF? _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

How new and how expensive looking?
The three winged logos that come to mind are.
Aston Martin
Bentley
Genesis by Hyundai

Good guess on the Mazda MX5 RF. I looked at the pictures but that car looks kind of goofy to me. I don't think that was it.
It's hard to trust my memory but I think the front emblem was in the grill, not on the hood. And the back glass swooped smoothly to the rear (not a notch back). Had a very noticeable idle, like a tuned 4 cylinder. I have seen plenty of Toyota FRS and it wasn't one of those either. |

Do you have any more to go on?
I think some of the Morgan cars have a winged logo as well. But, I think if you did see and Aero8 coupe, it would leave a big impression on you, that is one crazy unique car.
Is this a normal sports car, or did have that rare exotic feel? |

Takes an old fart to reference something from 10 years ago. |

Well in that case I'd think you would be better at this by now. |

Genesis Coupe with Sedan badges on it? Pretty common mod.
With the stock badge...
