I do remember back in the 80's when people would put turbo badges on non-turbo cars, before all the greddy stickers of today's riceboys.

Now that you mention it, Acura has SH-AWD on their new RL. It's not retarded like "4matic" but it is badging for a feature. There is no RL that comes without SH-AWD, so why put it on there in the first place? Nobody knows what SH-AWD stands for anyways. Those who know that it means "super handling all wheel drive" probably already know that it only comes on the RL... yeah... badging is pointless.
