I ordered an 07, and to be honest, I would MUCH RATHER that they forget to put those on my car when it is produced. I hate that badge. Tome it looks totally out of place.

All GM cars have it for 2006. Just there to show it's a GM made car.

It's called the "GM chiclet" and the idea probably came from some overpaid "suit" in the executive office who hasn't figured out yet that product design and reliability sells more cars and trucks.

That's why it's helpful to post a little more information about the car you have a question about if you're not going to put it in your signature or profile.

JIMTN,

Have a little patience for us new members. How can we learn if we don't ask questions. I thought that was the purpose of a forum.
