I guess I'll see what they come out with.

Maybe a carbon fiber one outlined in silver, or a billet one will make it to the aftermarket. Maybe a vintage blue emblem can be fabbed up.

You need to read the posts on this board more. GM has already said that won't happen. The production version is supposed to be fairly close to the concept.

I completely agree with you. Putting the bowtie on the grill doesn't have nearly the same effect as the Camaro emblem or the "SS" letters.

The Corvette has the crossed flags on it everywhere, I don't see a big gold bow-tie on it anywhere...
Camaro has a life of its own as well, we should have Camaro emblems on it, as far as I'm concerned...
The Gold bow-tie does give it a kinda truck feel...
What about the 1st gen Camaro flags, in a "V" shape, with red-white-blue inside the "V"...
Any Chops??

Here's another point to consider: the Ford Mustang (our direct competitor) has the metal Mustang emblem on the front of their cars, shouldn't the Camaro have it's own custom emblem on the front?

I think the old "red/white/blue stripe" emblem should be used, and just make it angled so that it fits perfectly on the front of the grille. And then maybe make a special "SS" emblem to be used on the front of the Super Sport edition...

That would make the Camaro stand out so much better as a Chevy sports car, rather than just another regular Chevy car.

I'm not say use the exact same image, but a modern version...maybe.
Here's a pic;

I think it would be better than stitching the "Name" into the seatbacks...

Basically, any kind of Camaro emblem (a new one even) would be better than the gold bowtie.

I think that's something the large majority of us would agree upon.

Speak for yourself, Id love to see the blue 1st gen bowtie over anything.

Alright, make that most of us would like something individualistic as the front emblem, rather than the current gold bowtie.

EDIT: I take it back, I do see the new emblem does have a bowtie.

That's why it should be bodycolor w/silver outline.
