What car or brand has the best Animal in its logo?

My first vote is Jaguar.

Jaguar with their Jaguar hood ornament is a great choice. 

With that said, my favorite would be

 

and all the other various colour combos and styles over the different model years and generations of Trans Am and Firebird. 

 

Second place for me belongs to Abarth

 It has a very musclecar look to it

 

 

And then there is the last Viper logo in 3rd place

I don't necessarily think it is the best animal but I think they use the animal the best in this 3-D ornament. 

I think if some other companies did the awesome 3-D hood ornament, this may not be *as* cool as it is. If Ford actually used a mustang horse or cobra snake on the hoods, that'd be awesome! Orrrrr if Dodge put a real Viper head on a hood, that'd be freakin cool. 

Buuuuut, as it stands in reality, this leaping Jaguar hood ornament is absolutely the best.

Ford and Lincoln did use a greyhound a few decades before the Mustang and that hood ornament was pretty cool

 

 

I don't think everything has to be "badass" like a Mustang or a Viper.

But check out these other ones that have been used:

Bugatti:

 

MAZ (a russian brand), Lambo isn't the only one that uses a bull.

I spotted this one at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this year on a Rover. I don't think the company ever used this and it's an aftermarket by the owner, but I still like it.

With all those decades, I do not think Ford has ever changed the Mustang logo.

 

and I personally think its the nicest rendered horse logo of all of them.   Yes. For me,  I prefer the Mustang horse over the Ferrari and Porsche ones.  

I do not know how I feel about the Mach-E traced outlined horse.  It would be the same as the coupe, but its a boring outline of it...   (I guess there is my answer...)

 

 

1960's ford mustang grill logo was the closest thing I believe ford came to a 3D logo.

I might like some of the other ones - maybe even more - but I won't vote for one if I didn't actually want to own the car because it was too expensive, not my brand, or not to my liking.

I'll go with this one since I've loved many models of Firebird!

I did grow up in a Ford family, so I've long liked some of their animal-named models..

Cougars, Thunderbirds and Mustangs all have great history, excited to see where it goes in the EV generation.

Nowhere..other than Mustang, those are dead...afraid the 'EV Generation' is just going to be more soulless CUV appliances...generic vehicles for generic consumers.
