Default Non-Vettes w/ Grandsport Hashmarks??

Today I saw a new Challenger that had black GS hashmarks on the drivers side fender. Ive also seen a new mustang with GS marks. Another one is the f-bodies that like to have them on both fenders.
WTF??
What do you guys think of non-Vettes sporting the GS hashmarks?

Yeah, the new Challenger R/T model comes from the factory with those hash marks!
Talk about copying something from Chevrolet.

As much as I like the Grand Sport, I must admit to being lukewarm on the hashmarks, even on the genuine article. I think GM ought to stick with the center stripes they made infamous in the 60's.

Haha....The Toyota dealership here had a black Yaris with black wheels and red hashmarks. I thought it was funny. I've seen them on plenty of cars. IMO they're more of a racecar thing and not a Chevrolet thing.
