Is that video showing old emblems being restored or re-manufactured? or is that how every modern day emblem is made? If that's the case, it's pretty nuts that they go through all that trouble.

I would surmise that it's only the older ones...with the number of Cayennes and Panameras added to the volume, I really doubt they are all hand made. But maybe they are?

Not nuts at all. Glass encrusted emblems are made similar to broaches and any other hand-laid, high-quality "jewelry". Quality costs and cheap gets you... cheap. They probably don't do this at the Hyundai factory.
