I am personally sick of the gold bowtie and often wonder why GM changed it.

i know this wont happen, but it would be sweet if they did a "zl1" like the new zr1, throw a blue bowtie, blue calipers, and other accents, maybe even blue gauges.

I personally am not a big fan of the new car with retro badges thing. I know a lot of people on this forum have old school badges on their 4th gens, but I've never been one to like that. I think however in this case, the retro bow-tie with a modern styling would be appropriate. I just don't want 1969 to clash with 2009.

Anything is better than gold. This day and age it really just needs to be a chrome emblem ( like Toyota, Honda, Buick)


I want an avatar like that!

Right!

BTW, how would you guys feel about a deep metallic blue or grey emblem, you know, like a gem?
