South of the border there are several models that actually are officially called "CHEVY" I mean they even have a "Chevy" badge.
Maybe they are trying to keep them separate  Still kind of silly I think. http://www.chevrolet.com.mx/content_...evy/index.html

This is stupid. GM has more important things to worry about than the Chevy (excuse me, Chevrolet) name. GM *might* have been able to think about petty stuff like this back in 1999 (when they literally ruled the world) but not now. Honestly, I think this is GM's way of making the Chevrolet brand name more "sophisticated".

Really people?
 All this means is that you'll start hearing "Chevrolet" in advertising and your dealers will start greeting you with, "Welcome to (insert name here) Chevrolet." Nothing changes except adding a syllable onto the word.

Or were you saying that nobody can say Chevy bow tie. In which case ... no, thats not true since the general public can say Chevy all they like, GM won't be doing anything about preventing people from saying Chevy bowtie. Quote:

Really, I get it, no need to
me. I just think that out of tons of ideas this has to be one of the most backwards thinking things I have heard. As stated on NBC Anyone remember New Coke.. I'm no marketing major and really don't think it's going to make any difference, but I have been wrong before. I don't give a rats a**, more of a comment on something that has been recognized for years as one thing and seemed to work just fine so why even worry about it.

My $0.02.. Chevrolet is a French word.. if they want to use that then they can eat frogs too..
 Oh wait.. it's coming to mean.. it's the freakin Canadian thought police trying to please Quebec so they don't succeed.. LOL You need to reign your countrymen in Oshawa! And for the taking it to the next level.. this is what you get when the Government has their paws on you.. and despise all you Rednecks that came up with the term Chevy! Put that in your pipe and smoke it America, it is your own doing!
