4x4 badge on Escape, Yes or No?

Is a 4x4 badge on an Escape cheesy? Or does it look good?

I like what you have there, nice and simple, but not tacky and plain.

Tom, I like what you did. A nice small chrome badge matching the Escape on the left. Very esthetic. I think I'll try that, ... wait a minute, I did

I was just looking at the Escape, CRV and VUE comparison article in the latest issue of MOTOR TREND magazine. Motor Trend calls the Escape a 4X4 and they say it has 4 wheel drive. Ford calls it a 4X4. If someone else wants to call it a flying pig, I don't care. Just don't tell me I can't call it what Ford and auto professionals call it.

I really like the look of that. If I could get one in gold to match my other badges, I'd do it in a heartbeat
