The cross flags stand as an iconic symbol of Corvette's heritage and the Flag ship for Chevy!

There is no need for the chevy symbol on these cars.

If you dont know who builds them then you dont need to be driving them

There's a big bow tie under the license plate in the rear....

Those that don't know who makes the Corvette probably don't need to know or really care.

FWIW - Who makes the Bentley? (Volkswagen) Who makes the Rolls Royce? (BMW) What difference does it really make?

I can't let you get away with that one Randy

The Germans may have bought out our automotive heritage but the companies are still here in the Old Country (Bentley at Crewe and RR at Goodwood). They even sold off Rover but kept the Mini design and make out its a BMW

The Germans may own the companies now but it's still Brits that make the cars

But you are right in that who cares any more?

BTW, I thought there was abig plan about a year ago to put the Chevy lgo on all new Chevvies including the C6. Did it never happen?

You are right Dave, the cars may still be made in GB, by Brits - but the profits go the Fatherland. Toyota, Nissan, Subaru and Honda all have plants in the USA - and the cars are made by American workers....but does that make them American cars? Volkswagens are made in South America and Mexico - they are still German cars......

In this "world economy" where components are made all over the world, it's very difficult to define the national origin of cars anymore. I happened to open up my left door control module yesterday and the components on the board (the ones I could read anyway) came from Thailand, Japan and China.....in my all American Corvette! Oh the humanity!

All GM cars now starting with the '06 models have a small GM metal tag somewhere on the car - including the C6. My '07 Cadillac has it on the front driver's side fender just in front of the door.

Like I said - who cares and what's the difference!!!

Happy New Year my friend!

Other than being on the flags, the Chevy bow-tie is not prominently displayed on the C-6.

Default chevy symbol

Sadly to say- The way they stand behind the vehicle, I wouldn't want it visible though it is incorporated in the flags.
