You know those badges will be worth something many many years from now.

"see this son? It's a Limited edition GM badge.. came on GM cars during a year ot two"

"Daddy what's GM?"

"Oh it's a defunct car manufacturer"

 

I missed any direct reference in the article to removing the badges from new models. Nonetheless, I can do without them. I've see one too many that look slightly eskew which does nothing to promote quality. Put them back on the seatbelt buckles if anything.

 

I think they look ok on the new Escalade and on the GP as mentioned, but some cars just don't look right with them...

 

i wonder if those VW "Fast" commercials had anything to do with this...

 

There was no direct mention of it... but as I began to read the article the first thing that came to my head was how great the little badges were going to be for linking all the brands together and promoting all the positive feelings that the public has about GM, but not necessarilly the individual brands.


Now........... they are saying the exact opposite of this.

So, I am assuming the badges will be gone... but, then again, they are on the 07 GMT-900's... so, maybe they'll just keep slapping them on until they run out of them?

Or, maybe they'll just keep putting them on all the models and continue to send out a contradicting marketing message.

 

 

i want them back on the buckles too.

 

I dont mind the badges too much on my Cobalt. Its more the dealer logo on my rear bumper cover that annoys me. My 5th gen wont have a GM badge or dealer badge on it. F**k that.

 

You should ask the dealer to remove its badge and fix any remnants of it.

 

Indeed.

My dealership know I do not like the stickers from the dealership put on it...

Interestingly enough, they no longer put them on anybody's car... they give out dealership license plate frames instead.

 

Watching this whole GM marketing debacle is a lot of like watching a once respectable person struggle with alzheimers.

Does anyone in GM recall that they used to make little seatbelts with GM symbols on them, and also put little GM symbols in the corner of their print ads?

 

I really wish GM would have saved those emblems for their 100th anniversary.
