They put our GM Stamps on sideways.

Picked up a G6 today. Our little GM badges on the doors were put on sideways. Excellent use of branding

Nice quality control!

Reminds me of the 1991 Z28 I saw at a local dealership way back when it was new.... Had a Z28 badge on the rear bumper, a Z28 badge on the passenger side ground effect, and an RS badge on the drive's side.

This is really lame, and inexcusable.

Wow.

That is not very indicative of a huge quality turn around, is it?

My parent's 1989 Plymouth Voyager says Plymouth Voyager on the outside and Dodge Caravan on the inside.

Re: They put our GM Stamps on sideways.

Someone tell me again how these badges are improving the image of GM products?

Leave them their, your car is now one of those super rare things, like the double eagle coins.

Re: They put our GM Stamps on sideways.

I thought it was amusing when I had a GT badge on the back of a Grand Prix earlier this year.

It wasn't a GT Yo, GM, isn't that like rice or something, yo?

Pretty soon we'll see V8 badges on Cobalts

Maybe it is like a Golden ticket and he will now get a tour of the G6 factory?

Re: They put our GM Stamps on sideways.

I've seen several that are slightly crooked. Again, not exactly an image of quality.

Re: They put our GM Stamps on sideways.

Even if the worker was asleep when he stuck that on there, how did that make it past the quality control guys??

Re: They put our GM Stamps on sideways.

A friend of mine in high school's mom bought a little rinky dink Dodge Omni. Was supposed to have a 4 speed stick (at least thats what they said) but it actually was a 5 spd. Even had the 4 speed shift pattern badge on the top of the shifter handle. He found it by accident trying to downshift into 3rd.
