By the way i think the whole rear part of the car looks a lot like a 5 series bmw.

If I recall, it wasn't just that it had the other option had a Hyundai symbol on the grille...it had an entirely different grille as well. It's more traditional...in natural lighting, the honeycomb pattern wasn't as obvious, so it looked more like a Sonata grille, as you can see in the attached pic.
The grille they went with for the Genesis definitely looks better IMHO. Maybe they could have put the badge on the front somehow, but it looks fine without it. One of they Hyundai reps was saying tongue-in-cheek that they at least put a big Hyundai badge on the back, so that BMW and Merc drivers unable to tell would at least get a good look at what kind of car it was after it flies past them.
