I'm still waiting on my Summit White; I guess I won't be getting the GM logos?!!

Back in 2005, General Motors began adding so-called "Mark of Excellence" corporate logos to all of its vehicles. The reasoning behind the move was that with eight brands, customers needed to know that vehicles from brands like Hummer and Saturn came from the GM family. Fast forward four years and The General is now down to four brands, and the company now feels that a strong link to GM proper won't necessarily help Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. Beginning with future 2010 model year vehicles, the barely noticeable silver GM badge will not be added to new products. Vehicles like the 2010 Camaro and 2010 Equinox already don the GM logo, but the assumption is that the logos will stop appearing once the remaining inventory is used up.

GM spokesman Terry Rhadigan told The Detroit News that company research shows customers outside the Midwest don't associate brands like Cadillac and Chevrolet as GM products. Some would say that the move will serve to distance the company's brands from the bankruptcy of parent GM, while others may question whether the badging ever captured the attention of customers in the first place. With GM's new emphasis on strengthening the brands it has left, we'd say that tying the mother ship to any of the individual marques is pretty irrelevant and makes little sense. And besides, they're probably saving a few bucks on badges in the process, right?

That's kind of neat. You'll be able to tell from 1st year 5th gens. Of course, some pople take them off anyways.

Not if there are any R6P cars not built yet. Not sure if there are or not but there could be. I took mine off day one. Not a fan. I have one on my tool chest and the other one must be MIA somewhere. I am a little bummed now that they quit that I removed them but oh well, they make the car look cleaner...

I personally hated them anyways took them off my cobalt and my brothers cadillac right away, saves me the hassle of doing it with the camaro!

When my car comes in I plan on keeping on.

They would make some interesting custom earrings for your significant other to wear to your camaro gatherings.
