Default Chevy Badge on a Holden WTF is the deal

Seems like every second Holden Ute or SSV I see has some sort of Chevy Badge on it boot these days and all I can think of is Why do this. In the good old USA a Chevy badge is like a badge of redneck trailer park trash pride so why the fark do it here?

I can see where you are coming from, I think they look ok with just the chev badges, do they actually sell one with these or are they all aftermarket stick-ons?

I dont understand why they have holden an chev badges together tho that looks shite,

The local bogans think that they have a Chevrolet engine in their Holdens so they put Chevy badges on them. They should really put GM badges if anything. I bet you don't see any Chevrolets with Holden badges in the states Dave

What cracks me up even more that having them on an SS or SSV is the tools with Chev badges on a V6 commodore/SV6 with an australian built V6 ffs!!!

I do tend to agree it's like putting STi badges on a std rex though!!

Missus has a Holden Cruze (which is really a Suzuki Ignis or something. I wanna get Chev badges for it.

The reason they like the Chev badges (apart from being ignorant) is that they are alot smaller than the MASSIVE Holden emblem they stick on them from the factory. Actually saw on the way home tonight: Purple VZ SSV Ute with purple background numberplates [CHEV SS]........
