Default Why the GM logo?

As if I needed another reason NOT to buy a C6 and keep my beloved C5...that GM logo on the bottom near the door is a real eye-sore!!!



What's next, a big Chevy symbol in the grill

I don't understand why this makes so many people act like its ruined the car... 20 seconds and a little bit of fishing line and its gone.

I noticed that too just yesterday at one of our Corvette Club Meetings, need to get real close to see that it says GM.

I think Chevys used to have a small logo similiar to this that said, "Body by Fisher".

I agree it is not needed and an eyesore.
