The colored lettering on the door I think is a styling thing, but I also don't think that a badge with a liter number on it was as prominent as they are now, I mean even jeeps have them. If you go back and look at some of the cars that have that badging now and compare them to their 10 year old counterparts they aren't going to be as badged up.
