EVERY vehicle has a different emblem.
The new Impala has some kind of deer thing (according to the TV commercials, anyway. The website says otherwise).
The Corvette has the wingish-looking-thing.
The trucks and most of the cars have the stylized plus sign (though I dispute the fact that those cars actually HAVE that logo, because I've NEVER noticed them anywhere except in the photos on the website)
The Geos have a completely and totally irrelevant logo that I can't think of offhand.

There is no common design element - AT ALL. Most manufacturers use a common front grille... Chevy doesn't even have a common one within their TRUCKS.

There is no common STYLE. I mean, every vehicle looks TOTALLY different. GM's other brands do a much better job - a Saturn is DEFINITELY a Saturn. A Cadillac is DEFINITELY a Cadillac (except when it's a rebadged Chevy, at which point it's junk)

Chevrolet seems to be the catch-all for everything that GM thinks might be sellable, but can't find a hole to stick it in.

What are you talking about? All chevys have the + sign logo. The Implala does have a different one, and so does the Corvette. They dont make Geo's anymore. Does Infiniti and Nissan share the same logo? Acura and Honda? Geo is to Chevy and Honda is to Acura. The cobalts have the + sign.


:roll:

it's a fucking bowtie

the + sign is a bowtie.

ANY American cars = Teh SucK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ford trucks are about the closest thing to "nice" as I've seen come outta' American auto engineering lately. It's just sad. The Japanese have been showing us the way for over 2 decades now & we don't catch on.

Who does?????????????????????

The freakin' KOREANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They take a look at Toyota & say....."Hmmmmm, we should be like them!" They dupe the process and........Presto............in that same 2 decades, we have Korean car companies poised to put a pickle in everybody's @$$ just as soon as they're not lookin'!!!

Go test drive an '06 Chevy Malibu, then go test drive an '06 Sonata!

Most "imports" are made in America.
Strange how America can't produce the same quality product.

Sonatas = Alabama, that ain't the cream of the crop either!

Quite a few cars are made in Mexico now too.

It's in the design & engineering. Always has been.

Americans just dont get it.

Japanese (& now Koreans), do!

I recently drove an '06 Corvette convertible....... .......After I got past all the cool "gizmos" and started driving the car I realized..........it's just more Detroit junk.

Guy paid 63,000 for the thing. I literally felt sick for the guy. But.......it was his money & he's a Vette junky & buys a new one every few years so.........whatever suits him.

And as for the Sonata.........I don't kid when I suggest people test drive one.......(and I've suggested it to A LOT of people over the last month or so).........it'll make you wonder why Americans even bother making cars anymore.

The Impala has the same emblem that graced the 1960's Impallas, a leaping Impalla.

Geo hasn't existed for a few years now, all former Geos wear the Chevy bow-tie.

The Corvette has always had its own emblem.

And Chevy is not the "flagship" brand. That's Cadillac. Chevy is the bread and butter brand, the brand that your average joe six-pack drives.

Wow, of all of the things to bitch about in regards to GM this has to be just about the most lackluster rant I've ever ran across, not to mention very ill-informed as other people touched on.

*spontaneous laughter*

That's just priceless. Having lived in both the heartland and the coasts it is _clearly_ the coastal areas of the country in which group identification is strongest. Middle America is far more individualistic than the rest of the country.

Yeah, I disagree with almost all of it.
