To me this puts those cars in a different realm than "regular" cars. Its like the "single name" status for celebrities.

Hasn't the Camaro merited this status with is long history, heritage and legend?...To have its own badge.

What other cars have this?

BTW, I am by no means an american car historian. Please excuse any ignorance I have displayed and feel free to educate!

Do the Viper or Challenger have Dodge emblems anywhere?

For the record, most Mustangs with standard wheels (both V6 and GT trim) have had the Ford emblem on the center caps of the wheels for the last 10 years.

Somebody should make the new style "SS" bigger and mount that on the center of the grille. I'd like to see that.

Same here.

How about one of these to bring back the retro Camaro icon!

paytnom · 11-04-2010, 07:52 PM

Agree, proud of the bowtie, just not in gold. Do it in the color of the car

rez333 · 11-04-2010, 08:10 PM

first, having an SS emblem isn't any better. the badge also appears on cavaliers and cobalts.

Second, the use of the bow tie is to improve the image of chevy as a brand. if u want a status car, u spring for the corvette. People in the market for a camaro won't be dterred by a badge, but those not in the market will think better of chevy for having a camaro car with a chevy badge.

the same logic is applied to the Ford Gt and Nissan GT-R: both these cars pull up the rest of the range. The reason why Mustang and Corvette don't have their brand badges, is because of their iconic status. chevy's icon is the corvette f does it need a second icon? i would argue not.
