Awkward design details on production cars

The new revised mini clubman rear. Two things bug me. The clubman badge, a 7 letter word, split into 4 letters one side and 3 the other on the back doors.
And the brake lights in the lower light cluster rather than the more obvious place in the upper cluster.
In a similar thing with the lights, the Kia Sportage has its rear indicators separate from the main light cluster. It just doesn't look right, and I wonder how easy it is to change a bulb in a light that is nearly in the rear bumper.And the brake lights in the lower light cluster rather than the more obvious place in the upper cluster.

Look at it compared to the older model. That strip thing going between the lights.
What the hell is it ? How can the new model look worse than the old one ?
And the indicators are still in the bumper. Also the front end of the old one was better looking than the new one that could be any SUV. Plus the grille looks like it should be on a truck going by the size of it.Rear

Didn't get a photo as I was driving, but yesterday morning on the M25 I followed a BMW 5 series and it took a while to work out what was wrong.
The 520d badge was on the left hand side, rather than its usual place on the right hand side of the boot lid. Very odd. Why would that be I wonder?

New Civic Type-R - Every damn part of the car, from front to back
Fixed that for you.
However, for the purposed of the OP, specifically those weird stuck on plastic strips under the rear light/indicator...apologies, not the best close-up picture. Actually, apologies for posting the whole of the rear.
There is nothing wrong with that.
It looks exactly like what it is, with added robot lasers and orbital attack capabilities, imo, a perfect hot ricer.
Nice.
The bumper lights on the Q3, was behind one not long ago and it seemed to have a brake light and if I remember another indicator in there, but since have been behind a few, although they all have the lights, the brake lights and indicators have always just been in the main cluster. Looks strange anyway, especially on a white car.

I noticed this too and it confused me, until I saw someone open the boot on one - I think it has dual brake/tail lights and dual indicators, whenever the boot is closed then the "normal" cluster is used, however as soon as the tailgate is unlatched then the lighting function is switched to the lower clusters in the bumper. An absolutely gash solution, to a problem that should never have existed! Muddle238 said:

Q7s , Insignia Estates and something else seem to have 'repeater' tailights and indicators 'behind' the rear light clusters in their full width rear hatches i.e. in the body side / stretching to the pillars also seen tilt switch activated reapeaters on Emergency light installs in a variety of vehicles where opening the match obscures the roof beacons / bar
