The Corvette has one, The Mustang has one...The Camaro, why not?
At least on late models, I have not noticed the Chevy bow tie badged on the Corvette, instead the classic duel flag Corvette emblem (since first gen?). I have not noticed a Ford oval on the Mustang (since first Gen?), only the classic Mustang in stride emblem.
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! |

I agreed with what your saying. They need to lose the bowties and save them for on the trucks like they used to do. I would much rather see the SS in the center with out that ugly bowtie. Someone came up with that gold bowtie many years ago and chevy has beat it to death sticking it on the front of everything except for the corvette. I agree it cheapens the car up.

I agree, the Camaro needs unique badging.
Imagine how the Challenger people feel with the stupid Dodge Ram head right in the middle of their hood.

You are absolutely RIGHT! And replacing them with "SS" badges isn't a better idea, since you can get SSs on Cobalts. Uh.. no.
GM - are you listening? Although this is a tradition amongst American cars, this isn't a tradition anywhere else. It's also not a consistent tradition. For example the Ford GT supercar has a blue oval on it, and all Porsches/Ferraris have the same logo on it. I think that a separate brand should be created just for performance cars. You want a regular Chevy or Ford, then go to the regular brands. You want a performance Chevy or Ford? Then go to the "CSV" or "FPV" brand (or whatever they want to call it). (CSV = Chevrolet Special Vehicles; FPV= Ford Performance Vehicles) |

IMO, the old school SS emblems dont even belong on the 5th Gens. If you wanted a 1st Gen, you should have gotten a 1st Gen.
