So the next camaro may more than likely receive them also. And given the reason I guess it makes sense. most of us here already have them sort of.

Red car is still butt ugly btw.

A few days ago I was shown a teaser of the 140S showing the headlight, front fender, and wheel, where the crossed flag badges were. Confused the hell out of me.

I know when I first saw the Sonic RS using the exact same RS badge on the camaro, it kind of made me want to remove mine.
I think it's ok to put them on the camaro, maybe only on the SS and above but if they start slapping them on everything under the moon, it kind of dilutes it.

So, RS is an appearance package. According to you it should only be on one car, the Camaro.
So does that mean trim packages need to be designated up for each model too? Because my Impala LT encroaches on your (or whomever's) Camaro LT?

RS is an appearance package, and its specific to Chevy, so spread the wealth and get over yourself...

1: Hell no,it looks like a Hyundai
2:Has possibilities with a little tweaking.
IMO build a car that is unique to GM.Once upon a time you could look at a car and know if it was a Pontiac,Chevrolet,Ford,Buick,Oldsmobile..........y ou get the picture.

RS is not Camaro exclusive. I don't know what would make people think that it is.

Nor was it back in the late 60s. The rally sport badge found its way onto the chevelle and nova for sure by 1972. The nova back then was no more a car than the cruze is today. Your daily compact.
