Cruel, sick joke: Bentley Continental badged as a Hyundai

Some rich people have too much time on their hands and a sick sense of humor. Witness this, a perfectly good Bentley Continental GT
adorned with Hyundai badges – HYUNDAI badges!. It’s not as if the owner just stuck them on with double-sided tape, either – the hood badge, logo on the trunk lid and in the center cap of each wheel look wheel professionally applied, as if they were meant to be there all along. (We checked with Bentley, they’re not ever supposed to be there.) But hey, if you’re wealthy, you may as well do it right, you know? Actually, we’re thinking this guy lost a bet with his Ferrari buddies and was forced to transform his six-figure Conti into a Tiburon wannabe. Sigh…

Jalopnik brought us a few nice shots of the 2008 Accord coupe and sedan last week, and they do it again with some better shots of the cars’ V6 badging, lower rear bumper assembly and overall BMW-like profile.

Though not a radical new design direction for Honda, it’s a handsomely-done Camry competitor that should age well.v6accord.jpg
