Default Will the Camaro badge still be used?

This badge: http://www.autofloormatsdirect.com/g...maro_Badge.jpg

I realized I haven't seen it on the Concept at all, just the bowtie

I think it will most likely not be used this time. Maybe somewhere on the car but not on the grill like 4th gen, but who knows it might be on some model.

I think it'd look great right in front of the hood like an old hood ornament, or possibly on the front fenders behind the tires...

That emblem is too 80's to fit with the styling of the 2010 Camaro. It would just look out of place on the car. If the updated the emblem it might work, but it would still be a tough sell for me. I prefer the block "CAMARO" script that is on the concept.

I don't know, I'd still kinda like to see it sit floating
in the grill where the big bowtie is right now kinda like the SN95 Cobras and R34 Skyline GT-Rs did it...

I could only imagine it on a base model. I think they would rather have the gold botie on the car. I am hoping the botie will be replaced on teh higher models like SS/Z28/RS.

I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of Camaro badge on the car somewhere, but not having it wouldn't really matter to me.

I think it could be done like it always has been done.... leave the bowtie on the grille, and put the Camaro badge on the nose of the car.

I'd surely expect it to be modernized

I'd like to see the camaro badge on the grille. I mean, the corvettes don't have that huge gold bowtie on the front but they do have their emblem. I know there is quite some history behind the corvette badge but it would be nice to see the camaro with a badge of its own as well.
