Help! The braintrust of Inside Line is sitting here trying to decide in which disparaging way we should describe this bowling trophy of a hood ornament on the nose of the big, ol' Hyundai Equus sedan.

Here are a few:

Pedestrian Spleen Splitter

Drive-Through Speculum

I vote for the speculum reference.

I guess Hyundai can just take it off and put a more upscale version of the Genesis badge in its place.

Something to do with Taint...

...barring that, Drive-Thru Speculum gets my vote.

I vote for cruiserhead1's "The Analator", but I'll throw in "The Rear Ender"

Actually Hyundai appears to be quite proud of their "Most Improved" trophy if yhey're going to be putting it on the Equus.

the end of a really fancy shuffleboard pusher. it's designed to appeal to an older, well-heeled crowd.

Hey Erg, can I piggyback on one of yours?
"The High End Rear Ender"

"Rectus Regalus"

"Retractable towing hook"

So much for fuel efficiency - imagine the drag on that thing!

@dougtheeng, is that with or without the screaming impaled pedestrian?
