Personally it’s not me but I kind of understand your reasoning. Where I live in Europe, you can get a cx30 for 27k euros and spec it up to 43k with the skyactiv x engine and awd. And they barely look any different! Possibly the only brand that does it
i have a skyactiv x model (cost me 41k without any discounts but paid 38k) , I tried to remove ether badges but sadly found holes in the panel work
