Unsearchable car logo: "T"

rawpotatoeater37 · Jun 28, 2008, 09:01 AM

Yesterday I saw this really cool car, but I have noooo idea what it was (it was faster than my car, so I never saw the front medallion). On the back, though, was a round logo with a stylized "T" whose bottom line merged with an arrowhead pointed down. The top line ends were also curved slightly downward and pointed.

The car itself was bright yellow, sporty, with "gills" on the side in front of the door. There were no other markings on either side to tell me as to which model this car was.

Anyone have any idea?

Yeah, I was going to say maserati too. The gills are a giveaway (although the buick lucerne tries to copy them)

Masarti is one of the ones I was trying to think of in my Italian/European style reply.

Just for clarification, the car/link I attached was NOT the car I saw.

Jelloz' logo is the one I saw.

You might have to copy and past the link into your browser. Ignore the crudeness of the drawing, it was made in Paint, and from memory - I just so happened to see this car earlier today when I dropped my wife off at work, and was also wondering what type of car it is. Unfortunately, when I went to get a closer look, the car was essentially unmarked, aside from the cryptic logo.

The logo looks a bit like the Tesla Motors' logo, but I know it's not the same (and their car looks *much* sportier than this one, which to me resembled a Hyundai Tiberon).

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear 'em!

If anyone's still interested, I did some searching around and found out that the car type in question is called a Tuscani, and it's made by Hyundai (which may explain why I thought it looked a bit like a Tiburon). Here's the link to their website:

TUSCANI

Hope this helps!

That's it!

Thanks for your help!

Hyundai vehicles have come so far in such a short time. I am so impressed with their build quality, materials, and fit and finish.
This car is no exception. Glad you found what you were looking for. Good job Jelloz!

I know this is an old post, but I recently saw what I believe is the same logo rawpotatoeater37 is talking about. It is a Hyundai Tuscani which is the same as the Tiburon, but it is the overseas market name for the car.
Here is a link to the logo. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2045/...116624ab22.jpg
You can google the car to find out more about it, but basically it is the same as the Tiburon, just a different name.
